Fujiwara no Moromichi (藤原 師通? 1062 - July 18, 1099), son of Morozane, was a kugyo (high-ranked Japanese noble) during the late Heian period. He was a head of the Fujiwara clan and served as kampaku and udaijin. He was also known as Go-nijyo dono (後二条殿) or Nijyo-kampaku (二条関白). Though he assisted Emperor Horikawa against the cloistered rule of the then-retired Emperor Shirakawa, he died young at age of 38, which led Shirakawa to consolidate his power.
