Nakatsue (中津江村 Nakatsue-mura?) was a village located in Hita, Ōita, Japan. On March 22, 2005, Nakatsue merged with the other towns of the Hita District to form the city of Hita, Ōita.
The town attracted national attention when it served as the base camp for the Cameroon national football team before the 2002 FIFA World Cup. When the team arrived several days behind schedule, the town's plight briefly became a top news story in Japan.
As of 2003, the village had an estimated population of 1,300 and the density of 15.87 persons per km². The total area was 81.91 km².
