Prince Morikuni (守邦親王, Morikuni Shinnō, 1301–1333; r. June 19, 1308 – September 25, 1333) was the ninth and last shōgun of the Kamakura shogunate of Japan.[1]

He was a son of the eighth shōgun Prince Hisaaki and was a grandson of the Emperor Go-Fukakusa. He was also a puppet ruler controlled by Hōjō Takatoki, who was the Kamakura shogunate's shikken or chief minister and tokusō of Hōjō clan (de facto ruler of Japan).[2] His mother was daughter of Prince Koreyasu who died in 1306.

After the collapse of the Kamakura bakufu, he became a Buddhist priest. He died shortly afterwards.

The Kamakura shogunate was succeeded by the short-lived Kenmu Restoration.
