Yamato-damashii (大和魂code: ja is deprecated , "jiwa Jepang") atau Yamato-gokoro (大和心code: ja is deprecated , "hati/pikiran Jepang") adalah sebuah istilah bahasa Jepang yang merujuk kepada nilai dan sifat kebudayaan bangsa Jepang. Frasa tersebut dicetuskan pada zaman Heian untuk menyebut 'jiwa' atau nilai budaya Jepang asli berlawanan dengan nilai budaya bangsa-bangsa asing seperti yang diifentifikasi lewat kontak dengan dinasti Tang Tiongkok.
