Kagawa Chikakazu (香川親和, 1567 – 1587) also known as Chōsokabe Chikakazu was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period. He was the second son of Chōsokabe Motochika who was adopted by the Kagawa clan in Amagiri Castle.^[1]^[2]

After Chōsokabe clan's successor Chōsokabe Nobuchika's death in the Battle of Hetsugigawa, Toyotomi Hideyoshi advised Chōsokabe Motochika to make Chikakazu as a successor. However, Motochika selected his favored Chōsokabe Morichika for Chōsokabe clan's successor. Chikakazu died at the age of 20 because of illness in 1587.^[3]
