*''Japanese'': [[徳川]] 家治 ''(Tokugawa Ieharu)''

Tokugawa Ieharu was the 10th [[shogun]] of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]].

The third son of [[Tokugawa Ieshige]], he became shogunal heir as a result of his two elder brothers being adopted into other families. He was officially named shogun on [[1760]]/9/2, following his father's abdication on 1760/5/13.

Following his death on [[1786]]/9/8, Ieharu was entombed at the [[Tokugawa clan]] temple of [[Kan'ei-ji]]; his tomb still survives there today, though a number of other shogunal mausolea were destroyed in World War II.

Ieharu was succeeded by [[Tokugawa Ienari]], a member of the [[Hitotsubashi Tokugawa clan]].
