Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado (後土御門天皇, Go-Tsuchimikado-tennō, July 3, 1442 – October 21, 1500) was the 103rd emperor of Japan,[1] according to the traditional order of succession. His reign spanned the years from 1464 through 1500.[2]

This 15th-century sovereign was named after the 12th-century Emperor Tsuchimikado and go- (), translates literally as "later"; and thus, he could be called the "Later Emperor Tsuchimikado", or, in some older sources, may be identified as "Emperor Tsuchimikado, the second," or as "Emperor Tsuchimikado II."
