Matsudaira Munehide (松平 宗秀, October 21, 1809 – December 20, 1873), also known as Honjō Munehide (本庄 宗秀), was a Japanese daimyō of the late Edo period who ruled the Miyazu Domain (modern-day Miyazu, Kyoto). He was known by the titles "Hōki-no-kami" (伯耆守, Hōki-no-kami) (post-1840) or "Tango-no-kami" (丹後守, Tango-no-kami) (post-1868).^[1]

Munehide served in a variety of positions in the Tokugawa shogunate, ultimately rising to the position of rōjū in the period from September 1864 through September 1866.^[1] Previously, he had been Kyoto shoshidai in the period spanning July 26, 1862, through September 17, 1862.^[2] In addition, he served as jisha-bugyō from November 1858 through November 1861; and he was Osaka jōdai from February 1861 through July 1862.^[1]

In the Meiji era, he served as chief priest of the Ise Shrine.
