Oda Nobuhiro (織田 信広, died October 13, 1574) was the eldest son of Oda Nobuhide.[1] As an illegitimate son of Oda Nobuhide, Nobuhiro's power would slowly fade and always be looked down upon by his younger brother Nobunaga and even by many of his own retainers. Afterwards, Nobuhiro was forced to step down as the head of the Oda clan to allow Nobunaga to be the new head.

In 1540, after Nobuhide took Anjo Castle in Mikawa Province, the castle was given to Nobuhiro. During 1551, Nobuhiro was trapped by the Imagawa clan, but was saved when Nobunaga handed over one of their hostages—Matsudaira Takechiyo to make up for not lifting the siege of Anjō.[2]

Later on, Nobuhiro plotted against Nobunaga with the assistance of Saitō Yoshitatsu of Mino Province. Their scheme was uncovered before any damage was brought upon anyone, and Nobunaga forgave Nobuhiro. Nobuhiro was killed later on October 13, 1574, while fighting the Nagashima monto.
