Hōjō Ujiteru (北条氏照?)(d. 1590) was the son of Hōjō Ujiyasu, and lord of Hachiōji Castle in what is now Tokyo.

Ujiteru commanded a major force at the battle of Mimasetoge, where he unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Takeda Shingen from withdrawing to his home province of Kai after sieging the Hōjō's core castle at Odawara.

After the Hōjō were defeated in the 1590 siege of Odawara, Ujiteru was forced to commit seppuku along with his brother Ujimasa.
