Ucchuṣma (Chinese: 穢跡金剛; pinyin: Huìjì Jīngāng; Rōmaji: Eshaku Kongō) is a Vidyārāja in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.
Ucchuṣma's full name in Sanskrit sources is Vajra Krodha Mahābala Ucchuṣma (lit. "Great Strength Furious Diamond Ucchuṣma"). This is translated as Chinese: 大力威怒金刚烏芻使摩; pinyin: Dàlì Wēinù Jīngāng Wūchúshǐmó, from the Chinese version of the Sūtra of Mahābala and the Tibetan version of the Ārya-Mahābalanāma Mahāyāna Sūtra.
