Shibata Takenaka (柴田 剛中? 1823-1877) was an emissary for Japan who visited France in 1865 to help prepare for the construction of the Yokosuka arsenal with French support.
On behalf of the Shogunate, Shibata requested both the United Kingdom and France to send a military mission for training in Western warfare. The UK apparently declined, but the French accepted and this led to the first French Military Mission to Japan (1867-1868), which Shibata organized.
