Prince Morinaga or Moriyoshi (護良親王) (1308–1335; r. 1333–1334) was one of two Seii Taishogun during the Kemmu Restoration.

He was the son of the Emperor Go-Daigo and Minamoto no Chikako. He fought on the side of the Emperor, but was captured by Ashikaga Takauji. Ashikaga's brother Ashikaga Tadayoshi held him captive in a cave at the present-day Kamakura-gu for nine months before ordering his execution.
