*''Established: [[1642]]''
*''Abolished: [[1670]]''
*''Japanese'': 長崎探題職 ''(Nagasaki tandai shoku)''

The Nagasaki ''tandai shoku'' was an official assigned by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] to work with the [[Nagasaki bugyo|Nagasaki ''bugyô'']] to coordinate the defense of the port of [[Nagasaki]]. Most, if not all, of those assigned to this position were ''daimyô'' of domains in Western Japan.

The first to be assigned to the then-unnamed post was [[Matsudaira Tadaaki]] of [[Himeji han]] in [[1642]]. He was succeeded shortly afterwards by [[Matsudaira Sadayuki]] of [[Iyo Matsuyama han]], who was succeeded in turn by his son, [[Matsudaira Sadayori]]. [[Ogasawara Tadazane]] of [[Kokura han]] and [[Okubo Tadamoto|Ôkubo Tadamoto]] of [[Karatsu han]] were the final two to hold the position, which was abolished upon Tadamoto's death in 1670.
