Hasunuma (蓮沼村, Hasunuma-mura) was a village located in Sanbu District, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

On March 27, 2006, Hasunuma, along with the towns of Matsuo, Narutō and Sanbu (all from Sanbu District), was merged to create the city of Sanmu,[1] and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.
