Mōri Yoshikatsu (毛利良勝, died June 21, 1582) was a vassal under Oda Nobunaga during Japan's Sengoku period. He was also known as Mōri Shinsuke (毛利新助 or 毛利新介) and Mōri Shinsaemon (毛利新左衛門).

In 1560, he participated in the Battle of Okehazama on Nobunaga's side and assisted Hattori Kazutada after he was injured. Later, he accompanied Nobunaga and his son Oda Nobutada to Kyoto and died with Nobutada during the Incident at Honnō-ji.
