{{nihongo|Prince Narinaga|成良親王|Narinaga Shinnō|also called Prince Nariyoshi}} (1326 – {{circa|1337–44}}) reigned from 1334 to 1338 and was one of two Sei-i Taishōguns during the Kenmu Restoration. He was also Crown Prince in 1336 (one month).
Prince Narinaga was a son of Emperor Go-Daigo and Fujiwara no Renshi (藤原廉子, also called Ano Renshi 阿野廉子), daughter of Ano Kinkado. His full brothers were Crown Prince Tsunenaga and Emperor Go-Murakami.
On 17 November 1336 Prince Narinaga became Crown Prince to Emperor Kōmyō. However, Ashikaga Takauji had the prince killed in 1337 when Go-Daigo continued to resist.{{Cite book |last=Sansom |first=George |title=A History of Japan, 1334–1615 |publisher=Stanford University Press |year=1961 |ISBN=0804705259 |pages=56, 64}}
Alternatively, Narinaga was placed with Konoe Mototsugu after deposal and died in 1344 (according to Diary by Nakahara no Moromori, 師守記).
