{{nihongo|'''Utagawa Toyohiro''' |歌川豊広, 歌川豐廣}}, birth name '''Okajima Tōjiro''' (1773&ndash;1828), was a Japanese [[ukiyo-e]] artist and [[Ink and wash painting|painter]]. He was a member of the [[Utagawa school]] and studied under [[Utagawa Toyoharu]], the school's founder. His works include a number of ukiyo-e landscape series, as well as many depictions of the daily activities in the [[Yoshiwara]] entertainment quarter; many of his stylistic features paved the way for [[Hokusai]] and [[Hiroshige]] (the latter a prodigy who studied under Toyohiro, becoming one of the very finest of all landscape artists), as well as producing an important series of ukiyo-e [[triptych]]s in collaboration with [[Utagawa Toyokuni|Toyokuni]], and numerous book and [[e-hon]] illustrations, which occupied him in his later years.

The ukiyo-e series he produced include the following:
* ''[[Eight Views]] of [[Edo]]'' (several series)
* ''[[Eight Views of Ōmi]]'' (several series)
* ''Newly Published Perspective Pieces'' (''Shinpan [[uki-e]]'')
* ''Twelve Months by Two Artists, Toyokuni and Toyohiro'' (''Toyokuni Toyohiro ryōga jūnikō''), with [[Utagawa Toyokuni|Toyokuni]]
* Untitled series of A Day in the Life of a [[Geisha]]
* Untitled series of Eight Views of Edo in the Snow
* The [[Rokkasen|Six Great Poets]]
* The [[Japanese clock#Traditional Japanese time system|Twelve Hours]]
* The [[Four arts|Four Accomplishments]]
