Date Sanemoto (伊達 実元, DAH-tay; 1527 – 1587) was a Japanese samurai and commander of the Sengoku period. He was the third son of Date Tanemune[1] His son Date Shigezane was also an important vassal of the Date clan.[2]

Date Tanemune tried to adopt him to the Uesugi clan and had already agreed with the Uesugi clan on the plan.[3] However some of the vassals opposed the plan, which escalated into the Tenbun Conflict.[1] As a result, the plan failed.[3]

In 1583, Sanemoto relinquished the family head position to Date Shigezane and retired to Hatchōme Castle.[4]
