Nakafutago Kofun is a Kofun period burial mound located in the Nishi-Ōmuro neighborhood of Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture in Japan's northern Kantō region. Built around the beginning of the 6th century AD, it is a zenpō-kōen-fun—a keyhole-shaped tumulus form characteristic of the era. Designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1927, it is part of the Ōmuro Kofun Cluster, a concentrated group of at least six tumuli in the vicinity that includes the separately designated Maefutago Kofun and Ushirofutago Kofun.
