Prince Kaneyoshi (懐良親王, Kaneyoshi shinnō or Kanenaga shinnō, b. c. 1329-April 30, 1383) was a nobleman of the Kamakura period and the early Nanboku-chō period of Japanese history. The son of Emperor Go-Daigo, he is enshrined at the Yatsushiro-gū, a Shinto shrine located in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture.

In 1336, Go-Daigo sent the prince, at seven years of age, to Kyushu as Chinzei Shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Western Defense Area). There he became a loyalist force to be reckoned with until his death.
