was the '14th shogun' of the Ashikaga shogunate who reigned shortly from February to September of 1568 during the Muromachi period of Japan. He was the grandson of the eleventh shogun Ashikaga Yoshizumi.
Supported by Matsunaga Hisahide and retainers of Miyoshi Nagayoshi, Yoshihide became ''Seii Taishogun'' three years after the death of his cousin, the thirteenth shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru. However, due to the political situation in Kyoto at the time, he was not able to enter the capital.
In September of 1568, Oda Nobunaga marched his armies into Kyoto, seized the capital, and installed Ashikaga Yoshiaki as the fifteenth shogun. Yoshihide, never once able to take his place in the capital, died soon afterwards from disease.
==Era of Yoshihide's ''bakkufu''==
The months in which Yoshihide was shogun are encompassed within a single era name or ''nengō''.
