Ayasegawa Sanzaemon (Japanese: 綾瀬川 山左エ門; born Tōjirō Kawamura (川村 藤次郎, Kawamura Tōjirō), October 1835 – March 8, 1877) was a Japanese sumo wrestler from Higashinari, Settsu Province (now part of Osaka in the eponymous prefecture). His highest rank was ōzeki. He is the first wrestler from Osaka Prefecture to have been promoted at this rank in sumo history, and the only one until Ōnishiki's promotion in 1916, 44 years later.
