Kantō Kubō (関東公方) (also called Kantō gosho (関東御所), Kamakura kubō (鎌倉公方), or Kamakura gosho (鎌倉御所)) was a title equivalent to shogun assumed by Ashikaga Motouji after his nomination to Kantō kanrei, or deputy shogun, in 1349. He was followed by four other Kantō Kubō, all his descendants.

Later, there were other Kubō in the Kantō, for example Ashikaga Shigeuji and his descendants, who were called Koga Kubō. In Japanese, they are also usually classified as Kantō Kubō.
