[[file:The gate of Ueda castle (2020394910).jpg|thumb|right|Ueda Castle, administrative centre of Ueda Domain]]
{{nihongo|'''Ueda Domain'''|上田藩|Ueda-han}} was a [[Han (Japan)|feudal domain]] under the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] of [[Edo period]] [[Japan]]. It is located in [[Shinano Province]], [[Honshū]]. The domain was centered at [[Ueda Castle]], located in what is now part of the city of [[Ueda, Nagano|Ueda]] in [[Nagano Prefecture]].<ref name="explorer">[http://www.japanese-castle-explorer.com/province.html?name=Shinano "Shinano Province" at JapaneseCastleExplorer.com]; retrieved 2013-6-25.</ref>

==History==
The [[Sanada clan]] had ruled [[Chiisagata District, Nagano|Chiisagata District]] in Shinano Province during the [[Sengoku period]] under the [[Takeda clan]] and subsequently most of northern Shinano and [[Kōzuke Province]] as retainers of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]. Ueda Castle was the site of two battles between the Sanada and the [[Tokugawa clan]], notably the [[Siege of Ueda]] in 1600 when [[Sanada Masayuki]] with a force of 2000 men held off [[Tokugawa Hidetada]]'s invading force of 38,000 men for so long that they arrived late for then [[Battle of Sekigahara]]. Following the establishment of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], [[Sanada Nobuyuki]] was confirmed as ''[[daimyō]]'' with Ueda Domain, with holdings assessed at 95,000 ''[[koku]]''. However, in 1622 the clan was transferred to [[Matsushiro Domain]].

The Sanada were replaced at Ueda by Sengoku Tadamasa, formerly of [[Komoro Domain]], with a reduction to 60,000 ''koku''. However, Tadamasa died in 1628 before his plans to rebuild Ueda castle were realised, and his son Sengoku Tadatoshi became embroiled in a dispute over land surveys. His son, Sengoku Masaakira reduced the domain by giving 2000 ''koku'' to his younger brother before he was transferred to [[Izushi Domain]] in [[Tajima Province]] in 1706.

Ueda Domain was then given to [[Matsudaira Tadachika]], with an assessed ''kokudaka'' of 58,000 ''koku''. Matsudaira Tadachika served in many important roles within the administration of [[Tokugawa Ieshige]], including ''[[Kyoto shoshidai]]'' from 1717 through 1724 and ''[[rōjū]]'' in 1724, His son, Matsudaira Tadazane, gave 5000 ''koku'' to his younger brother, reducing the domain to 53,000 ''koku''. The Matsudaira clan remained in control of the domain to the [[Meiji restoration]].

During the [[Boshin War]], the domain sided with the imperial side, and sent forces to fight in the [[Battle of Hokuetsu]] and [[Battle of Aizu]]. In July 1871, with the [[abolition of the han system]], Ueda Domain briefly became Ueda Prefecture, and was merged into the newly created [[Nagano Prefecture]]. Under the new [[Meiji government]], Matsudaira Tadanari, the last daimyo of Ueda Domain went to study at [[Rutgers University]] and was given the ''[[kazoku]]'' peerage title of ''shishaku'' ([[viscount]]).

==Bakumatsu period holdings==
As with most domains in the [[han system]], Ueda Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned ''[[kokudaka]]'', based on periodic [[cadastral]] surveys and projected agricultural yields.<ref>[[Jeffrey Mass|Mass, Jeffrey P.]] and William B.
