Nanbu Toshitada was the 12th lord of [[Morioka han]].

Toshitada succeeded [[Nanbu Toshimochi]] to become lord of Morioka.<ref>Actually, Toshimochi had died at the age of 14 sometime previously and domain leadership had replaced him with a 9-year-old who assumed Toshimochi's identity. Luke Roberts. ''Performing the Great Peace: Political Space and Open Secrets in Tokugawa Japan''. University of Hawaii Press, 2012. pp48-49.<ref>

Domain administration experienced various failures under Toshitada's leadership, leading him to be forced into retirement. He was succeeded by his son [[Nanbu Toshiyoshi]] but continued to exercise considerable political influence. Toshiyoshi retired less than two years later (in [[1849]]) in favor of his younger brother [[Nanbu Toshihisa]]; according to some accounts, this may have been at Toshitada's urging.

In [[1854]], a disturbance within the domain led to the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] ordering that Toshitada be placed under house arrest and that he be isolated from having influence or involvement in politics or governance.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 1 (1937), 560.</ref>

The following year, Toshitada fell seriously ill, and the shogunate ordered on [[1855]]/5/22 that his house confinement be lifted, but not before he succumbed to his illness and died on 4/14, more than a month earlier.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 2 (1937), 69.</ref>
