Hasegawa Fujihiro was a [[Tokugawa shogunate]] official who served as ''[[Nagasaki bugyo|Nagasaki bugyô]]'' around [[1610]]-[[1612]].
He played a role in attempting to restore formal relations (and legal trade) between the [[Ming Empire]] and Tokugawa Japan, and after the shogunate's [[1611]] edict banning Chinese ships trading at ports outside of [[Nagasaki]], ''daimyô'' or other local authorities were obliged to report to Hasegawa on any Chinese ships doing so.
