Shimofunazuka Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun burial mound located in the Hikasa neighborhood of Wakasa, Fukui Prefecture, in Japan's Hokuriku region. Designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1935, this kofun is paired with the nearby Kamifunazuka Kofun, earning it the name "Meotozuka" (literally "husband and wife mound"). The two structures, each with separate historic site designations, form a linked archaeological complex characteristic of the kofun period's monumental burial practices.
