Ii Naonaka

• Japanese: 井伊 直中 (Ii Naonaka)

Ii Naonaka was a late 18th century head of the Ii clan and lord of Hikone han.

A younger son of daimyô Ii Naohide, Naonaka was declared the official heir to the household and to the domain after his elder brother Ii Naotomi died in 1787. Later that year, on 1787/10/15, he had his first formal audience with the shogun, in conjunction with being officially recognized (by the shogunate) as Ii Naohide's heir.
