Prince Morikuni (守邦親王) (1301–1333; r. June 19, 1308–September 25, 1333) was the ninth shogun of the Kamakura shogunate of Japan.

He was a son of the eighth Shogun Prince Hisaaki and was a grandson of the Emperor Go-Fukakusa. He was also a puppet ruler controlled by Hōjō Takatoki, who was the shogunate's shikken or chief minister. His mother was daughter of Prince Koreyasu who died in 1306.

After the collapse of the Kamakura bakufu, he became a Buddhist priest. He died shortly afterwards.

The Kamakura shogunate was succeeded by the Kemmu Restoration.
