Kishû Tôshôgû is a Shinto shrine in Wakayama City dedicated to the deified spirit of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the kami Tôshô Daigongen. It was established in 1621 by Ieyasu's son Tokugawa Yorinobu, the first lord of Wakayama han.

The shrine buildings are vividly colored in a style similar to those at Nikkô Tôshôgû.

The shrine's largest annual festival, celebrated since the shrine's founding, is called Wakamatsuri.
