Kano Naonobu (?? ??, 25 November 1607 – 7 May 1650) was a Japanese painter of the Kano school of painting during the early Edo period.
He was the younger brother of Kano Tan'yu, with whom he completed a number of prominent commissions for the Tokugawa shogunate.
His style differed somewhat from Tan'yu's in his bold use of negative space and his mastery of ink wash painting.
Naonobu also used the art name Jitekisai (???).
