Honinbo Doetsu 本因坊道悦(1636-1727) was a Japanese professional go player, who became the third head of the Honinbo house. His surname was Niwa, and he used a Buddhist name Nissho.
He was adopted as Honinbo heir in 1658. His final ranking was as 8 dan.
He challenged Yasui Sanchi II to a long match. In the end 20 games were played, out of a theoretical 60, over seven years starting in 1668. Under the beating-down rules (see jubango) he forced Yasui down from BWB to B (sen).
He was also active in oshirogo from 1660, for 15 years. In 1677 he stepped down as Honinbo head, handing over to Dosaku.
