Shō Shitatsu (1408–1449) was a king of the First Shō dynasty of the Ryukyu Kingdom. He was the son of king Shō Chū, and the grandson of the dynasty's founder, king Shō Hashi. Shitatsu took the throne after Chū's death in 1444 and reigned for five years until his death in 1449, after which he was succeeded by his uncle Shō Kinpuku. Extremely little is known about Shitatsu beyond his mention in tribute records from the Ming dynasty.
