The Uesugi Zenshū rebellion was a revolt in the Kanto region of Japan in 1416 and 1417 led by Uesugi Ujinori, known as Zenshū, a former deputy of the Kamakura kubo. Allied with discontented warriors, he drove Ashikaga Mochiuji from Kamakura, but the shogunate sent help, and Zenshū was defeated and killed himself in early 1417.
