*''Founded: 16th century, [[Hasegawa Tohaku|Hasegawa Tôhaku]]''
*Japanese: 長谷川派 ''(Hasegawa-ha)''

The Hasegawa school was a school (style) of Japanese [[painting]] founded in the 16th century by [[Hasegawa Tohaku|Hasegawa Tôhaku]] and disappearing around the beginning of the 18th century.

The school painted mostly ''[[fusuma]]'' (sliding doors), was based largely on the style of the [[Kano school|Kanô school]], and was centered in [[Kyoto]]. A relatively small school, the majority of its painters were students of Tôhaku and of various Kanô masters. Tôhaku himself was a student of [[Kano Eitoku|Kanô Eitoku]] and is said to have considered himself the stylistic successor to [[Sesshû]]. He painted largely in monochrome ink, in largely Chinese-inspired styles, and is particularly famous for his depictions of monkeys.
