Shosei Go (Chinese: 吳昌征; pinyin: Wú Chāngzhēng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Gô͘ Chhiong-cheng; Japanese: Go Shōsei; June 28, 1916 – June 7, 1987) was a baseball player from Taiwan.

Go was a leadoff man who played for the Tokyo Giants (1937–43, now the Yomiuri Giants), Hanshin Tigers (1944–1949) and Mainichi Orions (1950–1957, now the Chiba Lotte Marines). Only 5-foot-6 and 140 pounds, he was nicknamed "The Human Locomotive" due to his speed. As a left-handed outfielder, he won two batting titles and a stolen base title. Go also threw the first postwar no-hitter against the Tokyo Senators in 1946.
