江戸前・中期の公家(くげ)で、垂加(すいか)派の神道家。藤原氏。号は白玉翁、守初斎、風水軒。承応(じょうおう)2年6月26日出生。累進して権大納言(ごんだいなごん)となり、武家伝奏(てんそう)も務めた。さらに従(じゅ)一位に上り、享保(きょうほう)18年7月12日没。1680年（延宝8）山崎闇斎(やまざきあんさい)に入門、1682年（天和2）闇斎の死とともに、その遺言によって垂加神道道統の中心となった。闇斎の主著『風水草』から三種神宝、神籬磐境(ひもろぎいわさか)の伝に関するものを抜いて『持授抄』を編み、また『風水草』に引用の『旧事(くじ)本義玄義』の文を取り出して『自従抄』と命名、いずれも垂加派の秘書として重んじられた。著書『無窮紀(むきゅうき)』では吉野朝（南朝）正統の立場にたって皇統の正系を示した。公通の口授を記録したものに『正親町公通卿口訣(くけつ)』がある。
