'''Matsuno Chikanobu''' ({{lang|ja|松野親信}}, [[floruit|fl.]]&nbsp;1720s) was a Japanese painter of the [[Kaigetsudō school]] of [[ukiyo-e]] art. Believed to be one of the most popular painters of his time, his work, very much in the Kaigetsudō style, consists largely of ''{{Transliteration|ja|[[bijin-ga]]}}'' (pictures of beautiful ladies) and features bright colors and exquisite kimono fashions.

He is believed to have worked closely with [[Baiōken Eishun]], another Kaigetsudō artist whose style shows significant similarities.
