Hata clan (秦氏, Hata-shi) was an immigrant clan from Korea that was active in Japan since the Kofun period, according to the history of Japan laid out in the Nihon Shoki (720).

The clan members were later given official titles ranging from "Uzumasa (禹豆満佐/太秦)", "Hata no Sukune (秦宿禰)", "Hata no Imiki (秦忌寸)", "Hata no Sakeno Kimi (秦酒公)", "Hata no Kimi (秦公)", and "Toroshikō (登呂志公)" after being recognized as a legitimate clan of Japan after naturalization.
