Sô Yoshinaga was the 10th Edo period lord of Tsushima han.

He was the second son of Sô Yoshiyuki, the 8th lord of the domain. He became lord of Tsushima in 1762, when his uncle, Sô Yoshishige, retired in his favor.

Yoshinaga accompanied the final Korean embassy to Edo in 1764.

The domain suffered financial difficulties during this period; beginning in 1775, the shogunate provided Tsushima with 12,000 ryô annually to help support the domain.

Yoshinaga died on 1778/1/5. He was then succeeded by his fourth son Sô Yoshikatsu.
