Hachisuka Iemasa (蜂須賀 家政, 1558 – February 2, 1639) was a Japanese daimyō of the early Edo period. Iemasa, the son of Hachisuka Koroku, was the founder of the Tokushima Domain.

He served both Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, taking part in Invasion of Shikoku (1585) and Hideyoshi's Korean campaign (1592-1598).

He was one of some daimyo who have bad terms with Ishida Mitsunari. In 1600, Iemasa fought on the side of Tokugawa Ieyasu at the Battle of Sekigahara, and was allowed to retain his fief for his service there.
