Mikami Domain (三上藩, Mikami-han) was a Fudai feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan. It was located in eastern Ōmi Province, in the Kansai region of central Honshu. The domain was centered at Mikami jin'ya, located in what is now the city of Yasu in Shiga Prefecture. The Endō clan ruled the 24,000 koku Gujō Domain in Mino Province from the start of the Tokugawa shogunate. On the death of Endō Tsuneharu, the retainers of the clan were divided by an O-Ie Sōdō over the succession, and when seven-year old Endō Tsuneharu died in 1693, the domain was dissolved due to attainder. However in light of the services the early Endō clan had given to Tokugawa Ieyasu, Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi agreed to preserve the clan name, which was assigned to the eldest son of one of his hatamoto, Shirasu Tadayasu, who was married to the daughter of one of his concubines, Oden-no-kata. This son was assigned the name of "Endō Tanechika", and was raised by Toda Ujichika of Ogaki Domain. He was assigned an estate of 10,000 koku in Hitachi and Shimotsuke Provinces on reaching his maturity. In 1698, he was transferred to Ōmi Province. This marks the start of Mikami Domain.
