Matsumotozuka Kofun is a keyhole-shaped burial mound located in the Sannō neighborhood of Saito, Miyazaki, in Kyushu, Japan. Built during the Kofun period, this zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-form tumulus) was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1944. The mound is also known as Funazuka Kofun, a name derived from its distinctive silhouette, which resembles a ship.
