Katsukawa Shunsho (?? ??; 1726 - January 19; 1793) was a Japanese painter and printmaker in the ukiyo-e style; and the leading artist of the Katsukawa school. Shunsho studied under Miyagawa Shunsui; son and student of Miyagawa Choshun; both equally famous and talented ukiyo-e artists. Shunsho is most well known for introducing a new form of yakusha-e; prints depicting Kabuki actors. However; his bijin-ga (images of beautiful women) paintings; while less famous; are said by some scholars to be 'the best in the second half of the [18th] century'.

Shunsho first came to Edo to study haiku and painting. He became a noted printmaker of actors with his first works dating from 1760. Though originally a member of the Torii school; he soon broke away and began his own style; which would later be dubbed the Katsukawa school. Among his students were the famous ukiyo-e artists Shuncho; Shun'ei; and Hokusai.
