Ashikaga Yoshikatsu (足利 義勝, March 19, 1434 – August 16, 1443) was the seventh shōgun of the Ashikaga shogunate who reigned from 1442 to 1443 during the Muromachi period of Japan.

Yoshikatsu was the son of 6th shōgun Ashikaga Yoshinori with his concubine, Hino Shigeko (1411–1463).

Hino Tomiko, wife of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, at first was betrothed to Yoshikatsu.

In 1441, Shōgun Yoshinori is murdered at the age of 48 by Akamatsu Mitsusuke and shortly thereafter it is determined that his 8-year-old son, Yoshikatsu will become the new shōgun.

[5] The years in which Yoshikatsu was shōgun are more specifically identified by only one era name or nengō.
