Fujiwara-kyō (藤原京?) è stata la capitale del Giappone per sedici anni, dal 694 al 710. Era situata all'interno della provincia di Yamato, nella zona corrispondente all'attuale città di Kashihara, nella prefettura di Nara. Fu la capitale nei regni degli imperatori Monmu e Genmei e venne costruita per volere dell'imperatrice Jitō, figlia di Tenmu, che vi trasferì la sede del potere da Asuka-kyō.
