Yoshida han was an Edo period domain based at Yoshida castle in Mikawa province.
From 1712 onward it was ruled by Matsudaira Izu-no-kami, a lord who regularly held the title of jijû and the post of rôjû. This branch of the Matsudaira clan claimed descent from Matsudaira Nobutsuna, the first Matsudaira clan lord of Kawagoe han. The first of this lineage to rule at Yoshida was his great-grandson Matsudaira Nobutoki, who was transferred to Yoshida in 1712.
The domain contained within its territory the Tôkaidô post-stations of Yoshida-juku and Arai-juku, along with the associated sekisho (checkpoint) at Arai and bay crossing at Imagire.
Selected Lords of Yoshida
- Matsudaira Nobutoki (1712-?)
- Matsudaira Nobuakira (served as rôjû 1788-1803)
