was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, located in Harima Province in what is now the southwestern portion of modern-day Hyà Âgo Prefecture. It was centered around the Hayashida jin'ya which was located in what is now the city of Himeji, Hyà Âgo and was controlled by the tozama daimyà  Takebe clan throughout all of its history.
Takebe Mitsushige was the 700 koku Amagasaki gundai under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and was married to an adopted daughter of Ikeda Terumasa. Their son, Takebe Masanaga, fought at the side of Ikeda Terumasa's sons at the Siege of Osaka from 1614-1615, and was rewarded by being made daimyà  of Amagasaki Domain, an honor which he unusually shared with Ikeda Shigetoshi, with each having a kokudaka of 10,000 koku. This proved to be unwieldy, and when the Ikeda clan was transferred to Himeji Domain, Takebe Masanaga moved a slightly distance away to form Hayashida Domain in 1617. Although a tozama clan, the Takebe ruled the domain unbroken to the Meiji restoration. The 3rd daimyà Â, Takabe Masanori, served as à Âbangashira, Fushimi-bugyà  and as Jisha-bugyà  in the shogunal administration. The 7th daimyà Â, Takabe Masakata, established a Han school in 1794 and the 9th daimyà Â, Takebe Masanori, also served as à Âbangashira and castellan of Nijà  Castle in Kyoto. The final daimyà Â, Takebe Masayo, served in the guard of Prince Kachà  Hirotsune in 1868 and supported the Meiji government in the Boshin War. The clan was ennobled with the kazoku peerage title of shishaku (viscount).
The lecture hall of the han school survives, and is a Himeji City Important Cultural Property.
As with most domains in the han system, Hayashida Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned kokudaka, based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.
