In the 1949 Mexican hagiographic film ''[[Philip of Jesus]]'', [[Luis Aceves Castañeda]] plays a character corresponding to Hideyoshi but named "Emperor Iroyoshi Taikosama".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Riera |first1=Emilio García |title=Julio Bracho, 1909–1978 |date=1986 |publisher=Universidad de Guadalajara, Centro de Investigaciones y Enseñanza Cinematográficas |isbn=978-968-895-040-1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rNwuAAAAYAAJ&q=Felipe+de+Jesús+Iroyoshi+Taikosama |access-date=June 17, 2023 |language=es}}</ref>

In the 2009 Japanese [[historical fantasy]] film ''[[Goemon (film)|Goemon]]'', Toyotomi Hideyoshi (played by [[Eiji Okuda]]) features as the principal antagonist to the film's protagonist, [[Ishikawa Goemon]]. This is based on the tradition that Goemon was executed for his failed attempt to assassinate Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1594,<ref>H. L. Joly, ''Legend in Japanese Art'', London, 1908: 101–102.</ref> but the film otherwise bears little resemblance to either historical events or the received tradition. In the film, Goemon murders Hideyoshi's stand-in, avoids his execution by boiling (being replaced by an associate), succeeds in murdering Hideyoshi on a later occasion, and survives to intervene in the [[Battle of Sekigahara]]. Goemon is portrayed as the faithful retainer and avenger of [[Oda Nobunaga]], unhistorically depicted as the victim of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. All of this is counter to historical facts; tradition credits Goemon with serving Nobunaga's enemies the [[Miyoshi clan]] and his murderer, [[Akechi Mitsuhide]], as well as with failed murder attempts on both Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.<ref>S.

Hideyoshi is portrayed by actor/director [[Takeshi Kitano]] in his 2023 film ''[[Kubi (film)|Kubi]]''.
