Kanō Kazunobu (狩野 一信, 1816 – 3 November 1863) was a Japanese painter of the Kanō school. He did not use the surname Kanō during his life, but rather signed with his wife's surname as Henmi Kazunobu (逸見一信) or with the art name Ken'yūsai Kazunobu (顕幽斎一信).

Kazunobu is best known for his Five Hundred Arhats or Five Hundred Rakan (五百羅漢図, Gohyaku rakan-zu), a set of 100 scrolls, each depicting five arhats. He made them for the Tokugawa-sponsored Buddhist temple Zōjō-ji and completed them between 1854 and 1863.
