Daifuku-ji (大福寺) is a Buddhist temple in the Japanese city of Tateyama in Chiba Prefecture, pertaining to the Chizen Sect of Shingon Buddhism. According to tradition, the temple was founded by Gyōki (668–749) in 717, early in the Nara period. It was later revived by a visit by the Tendai Buddhist priest Ennin (794–864), early in the Heian period. The date at which the temple returned to the Shingon sect is unknown. The establishment received a juinjō (朱印状) seal of certification from the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period.
