Kamachi Akimori (蒲池 鑑盛, 1520 - December 7, 1578) was a Samurai retainer of the Ōtomo clan during the Sengoku period. He served under Ōtomo Sōrin. He was known as a skilled commander in the battle and also considered to be one of the "Great Pillars" for the Otomo house serving in all their major campaigns.

On 1578, Otomo Sorin attacked the Shimazu clan, Takajo Castle. The castle garrison led by Yamada Arinobu, gathered 500 troops to hold ground at Takajo Castle. Yamada managed to defend the castle and this led to a decline in the morale of the Otomo troops. Shimazu Iehisa and Yamada Arinobu sallied from Takajo castle and attacked the Otomo army from the rear. Later, the Shimazu army defeated Otomo's, who retreated under heavy losses at Battle of Mimigawa. Kamachi Akimori killed in the battle.
