Yutenji (祐天寺, yūtenji^?) is a temple of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism in Meguro Ward, Tokyo, Japan.

In 1718, the 3rd year of the Kyōhō era, the 36th Buddhist monk of Zōjōji called Yūten (祐天, yūten^?) died. One of his disciples, Yumi (祐海, yumi^?), built Yutenji as his shrine and made him the founder.
