Ashikaga Yoshihide (足利 義栄; 1538 – October 28, 1568) was the 14th shōgun of the Ashikaga shogunate, who held nominal power for a few months in 1568 during the Muromachi period of Japan. He became shōgun three years after the death of his cousin, the 13th shōgun Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
When Yoshihide became shōgun, he changed his name to Yoshinaga; however, today, he is more conventionally recognized by the name Yoshihide.
