Shibata Katsuie - Japanese military commander during the Sengoku Period
 

Shibata Katsuie (柴田 勝家) (1530 - 83) was a Japanese military commander during the Sengoku Period who served to Oda Nobunaga.

His forces, under the leadership of Sakuma Morimasa, besieged Nakagawa Kiyohide at Shizugatake. Sakuma ignored Shibata's orders and was destroyed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces.

The loss was so severe that Katsuie committed suicide.
