Lady Horikawa, attendant to Empress Taiken (待賢門院堀河, Taiken-mon'in no Horikawa, dates unknown) was a waka poet and Japanese noblewoman active in the Heian period.
A member of the Minamoto clan, her work is also included in the Kin'yō Wakashū.
In 1142, she ordained as a Buddhist nun.
One of her poems is included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu:
長からむ心もしらず黒髪の
みだれてけさは物をこそ思へ
nagakaran kokoro mo shirazu kurokami no
midarete kesa wa mono o koso omoe
(Senzai Wakashū 13:802)
