Emperor Seinei (清寧天皇) was the 22nd imperial ruler of Japan. No firm dates can be assigned to this emperor or to his reign, but he is believed to have ruled the country during the late 5th century CE.

According to Kojiki and Nihonshoki he was a son of Emperor Yuryaku. His name in birth was Shiraka. After the death of his father, Seinei won the fight against Prince Hoshikawa, his brother for the throne and then succeed to his father. He reigned from 480 till 484.

He has no child and worried about it. Two grandson of the Emperor Richu, Oke and Woke were found by chance and Seinei adopted them and made the elder of them, Prince Oke the crown prince.

His tomb was made in Kawachi province, today the eastern Osaka prefecture.
