Emperor Go-Murakami (後村上天皇, Go-Murakami-tennō) (1328 – 29 March 1368) was the 97th emperor of Japan,[1] according to the traditional order of succession.[2] His reign started in September 1339 and ended on 29 March 1368..[3]

This 14th century sovereign was named after the 10th century Emperor Murakami and go- (後), translates literally as "later"; and thus, he is sometimes called the "Later Emperor Murakami". The Japanese word "go" has also been translated to mean the "second one"; and in some older sources, this emperor may be identified as "Murakami, the second", or as "Murakami II".
