{{nihongo|'''Prince Morikuni'''|守邦親王|Morikuni Shinnō|extra=19 June 1301 – 25 September 1333; r. 1308–1333}} was the ninth and last ''[[shōgun]]'' of the [[Kamakura shogunate]] of [[Japan]].<ref>Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric. (2005). "Morikuni Shinnō" in {{Google books|p2QnPijAEmEC|''Japan Encyclopedia'', p. 660|page=660}}.</ref>

He was a son of the eighth ''shōgun'' [[Prince Hisaaki]] and was a grandson of the [[Emperor Go-Fukakusa]]. He was also a [[puppet ruler]] controlled by [[Hōjō Takatoki]], who was the [[Kamakura shogunate]]'s ''shikken'' or chief minister and ''[[tokusō]] of''  [[Hōjō clan]] (''de facto'' ruler of Japan).<ref>Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). {{Google books|18oNAAAAIAAJ|''Annales des empereurs du japon'', p. 281.|page=281}}</ref> 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 short-lived [[Kenmu Restoration]].
