The Ladies Professional Shogi-players' Association of Japan (日本女子プロ将棋協会, Nihon Joshi Puro Shōgi Kyōkai) or LPSA is a guild of women's professional shogi players headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. The organization was established in May 2007 when a number of women's shogi professionals decided to leave the Japan Shogi Association (JSA) due to disagreements over various matters. The current representative director of the organization is Hiromi Nakakura.
