Hiromine Shrine (広峯神社) is a Shinto shrine located in Himeji. It is one of the three main shrines of the Gion cult alongside Yasaka Shrine, and Tsushima Shrine. Until the Muromachi period the shrine was perceived as highly prestigious, on par with Kumano Taisha, but little remains of its past glory. In contrast to other shrines of the Gion cult the shrine is associated with agriculture.

It has branch shrines such as one in Obama, Fukui. and many others.
