Hane Naoki (羽根直樹), born 14 August 1976, is a former holder of the Kisei and Tengen titles. He is the son of Hane Yasumasa.

By winning an Oteai game on 25 July 2002, Hane Naoki gained promotion to 9-dan, and also set a new record for fastest promotion to 9-dan at the Nihon Ki-in: 11 years and 3 months.

He's written a book on his style recently. It's thick and slow; he plays catch up at the end. His rivalry with Takao Shinji is worth looking at.
