Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine (本住吉神社, Motosumiyoshi Jinja) is a Japanese Shinto shrine in Higashinada ward, Kobe. It is one of the biggest shrines in western Kobe and is located next to Sumiyoshi Station. There is documentary evidence that the shrine has existed since the 13th century.

Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine holds a danjiri festival in May each year. The portable shrines are wheeled through the neighborhoods around the shrine by teams of about 50 people.
