Komatsu Kiyokado (小松清廉) (December 3, 1835-August 16, 1870) was a Japanese samurai of the late Edo period, who served the Shimazu clan of Satsuma, and went on to become a government official of the early Meiji era. He was also commonly known as Komatsu Tatewaki (小松帯刀). Komatsu ruled the fief of Yoshitoshi, which was a part of the Satsuma Domain. Appointed karō in 1862, he held high office in the Satsuma domain until its dissolution in 1871. Komatsu was also a descendant of the Sengoku-era samurai Nejime Shigenaga.
