Sakakibara Kōzan (1734 - 8 January 1798) was a samurai, a Confucian scholar and author in the middle of the Japanese Edo period.

Kozan studied the construction techniques of Japanese armour from previous eras and provided a thorough report on constructing steel plate armour and its lamination with iron plate in his work, "The Fabrication of Armor and Helmets in Sixteenth-Century Japan."
