Shigenosuke Ushio (潮 恵之輔, Ushio Shigenosuke, 11 August 1881 – 1 September 1955) was a bureaucrat and cabinet minister in early Shōwa period Japan.

In 1932, he returned to the Home Ministry as Vice-Minister, overseeing civil service appointment reforms, and enforcement of laws aimed at reducing election fraud issues.

Ushio was selected for his opposition to the military, lack of political party ties and noted strength at bureaucratic innovation and reform, and for these same reasons his appointment came under criticism from many vested interests.

In 1938, Ushio was made a member of the Privy Council, and in 1946 became the final Vice-Chairman of the Privy Council before that body was dissolved by order of the American occupation authorities.

Ushio was chairman of a committee of thirteen councilors assigned to review and comment on the new post-war Constitution of Japan.
