The Inariyama Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped) burial mound erected around 500 CE in Gyōda, Saitama Prefecture, in Japan's Kantō region. Originally designated a National Historic Site in 1938, it was re-designated as a Special National Historic Site in 2020 as part of the Sakitama Kofun Cluster. The monument is also known as the Sakitama Inariyama Kofun or Gyōda Inariyama Kofun to distinguish it from other tumuli of the same name elsewhere in Japan.
