Uesugi Yoshinori (1333–1378) was a Nanboku-chō warrior, son of Uesugi Noriaki and adopted heir of Uesugi Shigeyoshi. In the Kannō Disturbance he served Ashikaga Tadayoshi, raising troops in Hitachi. Defeated at the Sattatōge Pass the following year, he lost the Izu shugo post but returned to favour after 1362.
