Nishikawa Sukenobu was a Japanese printmaker from Kyoto, unusual for an ukiyo-e artist due to his base in the imperial capital. He created prints of actors but gained note for his works concerning women, such as his 1723 publication, Hyakunin joro shinasadame.

Nishikawa Sukenobu (西川 祐信; 1671 – August 20, 1750), often called simply "Sukenobu", was a Japanese printmaker from Kyoto. He was unusual for an ukiyo-e artist, as he was based in the imperial capital of Kyoto. He did prints of actors, but gained note for his works concerning women. His Hyakunin joro shinasadame (Appreciating 100 women), in two volumes published in 1723, depicted women of all classes, from the empress to prostitutes, and received favorable results.
