Miyahara Yoshinao was a [[Bakumatsu period]] ''[[koke|kôke]]'' who performed a number of ceremonial roles for the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. He was a son of ''kôke'' [[Miyahara Yoshichika]].

Following the death of [[Princess Yoshiko (Kokaku)|Shinseiwa-in]] (empress consort to [[Emperor Kokaku|Emperor Kôkaku]]) in [[1846]], Miyahara traveled from [[Edo]] to [[Kyoto]] to make a formal inquiry as to the emperor's well-being, on behalf of the shogun. He then traveled as an official shogunal envoy to Kyoto again the following year in celebration of the confirmation of a new empress (''kôtaigô'').

In [[1849]], he traveled to [[Ise Shrine]] to offer prayers on behalf of the shogun on the occasion of the new year; four years later, in [[1853]], he was assigned to do the same at [[Nikko Toshogu|Nikkô Tôshôgû]]. Two years after that, in [[1855]], he was appointed "New Year's envoy" again, traveling this time to pay respects and offer New Year's congratulations on behalf of the shogun to the imperial court.

His adopted son [[Miyahara Yoshimochi]] also served the shogunate as ''kôke''.
