{{nihongo|'''Ashikaga Yoshihide'''|足利 義栄||extra=1538 – October 28, 1568}} was the 14th ''[[shōgun]]'' of the [[Ashikaga shogunate]], who held nominal power for a few months in 1568 during the [[Muromachi period]] of [[Japan]]. He became ''shōgun'' three years after the death of his cousin, the 13th ''shōgun'' [[Ashikaga Yoshiteru]].''<ref>Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). {{Google books|18oNAAAAIAAJ|''Annales des empereurs du japon,'' pp.  385–386.|page=385}}</ref>''

When Yoshihide became ''shōgun'', he changed his name to Yoshinaga; however, today, he is more conventionally recognized by the name Yoshihide.<ref>Titsingh, {{Google books|18oNAAAAIAAJ|pp.  386–387.|page=386}}</ref>

==Biography==
Shortly after having been proclaimed ''shōgun'', Yoshihide died from a contagious disease. In the same month, [[Oda Nobunaga]] marched his armies into [[Kyoto]], the capital, and seized control.<ref>Titsingh, {{Google books|18oNAAAAIAAJ|p. 386.|page=386}}</ref> Nobunaga installed [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki]] as the fifteenth ''shōgun''.<ref>Ackroyd, Joyce. (1982). ''Lessons from History: The Tokushi Yoron'',  p.  332.</ref>
