Daiei (大永), also known as Taiei or Dai-ei, was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, "year name") after Eishō and before Kyōroku. This period spanned the years from August 1521 through August 1528. The reigning emperors were Go-Kashiwabara-tennō (後柏原天皇) and Go-Nara-tennō (後奈良天皇).

## Change of era

* 1521 Daiei gannen (大永元年): The era name was changed because of the calamities of war and natural disasters. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Eishō 18, on the 23rd day of the 8th month.
