Kōda ware (高田焼, Kōda-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto prefecture. It is also known as Yatsushiro ware (八代焼, Yatsushiro-yaki).

Most of the decorative style is influenced by Goryeo ware.

The Hirayama Kiln Site (平山窯跡) is inscribed in the list of Historic Sites of Japan (Kumamoto).
