Ashikaga Yoshikazu (足利 義量? August 27, 1407—March 17, 1425) was the 5th shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate who reigned from 1423 to 1425 during the Muromachi period of Japan. Yoshikazu was the son of the fourth shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi. After his father Yoshimochi retired, Yoshikazu became Seii Taishogun but died two years afterwards. He was succeeded four years later by his uncle, the sixth shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori in 1429.
