Hasegawa Seifuku was a [[Tokugawa shogunate]] official who served for a number of years in the 1850s as ''kinritsuki'' (an official attached to the [[Kyoto Imperial Palace|Imperial court]]) and in other positions.

Promoted from Nishinomaru metsuke to [[Metsuke]] in [[1847]], Seifuku was assigned to the imperial court in [[1852]]. The following year, he was one of numerous officials to submit his formal opinions regarding engagement with the United States (i.e. by responding to [[Commodore Perry]]) to the shogunate.

In [[1854]], Seifuku became one of a number of shogunate officials assigned to help oversee (re)construction efforts at the imperial palace, and was later honored by the [[shogun]] for his efforts. The following year, however, he suddenly fell seriously ill, dying in [[Kyoto]] on 1855/5/7.
