Daigyô-ji is a [[Shin-shu|Shin-shû]] [[Buddhist temple]] in [[Kyoto]], associated with the neighboring [[Bukko-ji|Bukkô-ji]].

The temple was founded in [[1821]] by ''gakutô'' (highest ranking scholarly monk) Shingyô Sôzu, on the site of the moon-viewing tower (''tsukimi goten'') of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]'s Bukkôji Takakura Palace. It was then moved to its current location, adjacent to Bukkô-ji, in [[1853]].

The chief object of worship at Daigyô-ji is a statue of [[Amida Buddha]], which has been nationally designated an [[Important Cultural Property]].
