Fujiwara no Atsutada (藤原 敦忠 also 権中納言敦忠, Gonchūnagon Atsutada, 906—April 18, 943) was a middle Heian waka and Japanese nobleman. He was designated a member of the Thirty-six Poetry Immortals and one of his poems is included in the famous anthology Hyakunin Isshu. He is also known as 本院中納言 Hon'in Chūnagon and 琵琶中納言Biwa Chūnagon.

Many of Atsutada's poems written in correspondence with court women remain, and some are included in official poetry anthologies such as Gosen Wakashū.
