For the Japanese era from 931 through 938, see Jōhei.

Shōhei (正平?) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Southern Court during the Nanboku-chō period after Kōkoku and before Kentoku. This period started in December 1346 and ended in July 1370.[1]

The monarchs during this time were Emperor Go-Murakami (後村上天皇 Go-Murakami-tennō?)[2] and Emperor Chōkei (長慶天皇 Chōkei-tennō?).[3] The Northern Court pretenders in Kyoto were Emperor Kōmyō (光明天皇 Kōmyō-tennō?),[4] Emperor Sukō (崇光天皇 Sukō-tennō?)[5] and Emperor Go-Kōgon (後光厳天皇 Go-Kōgon-tennō?).[6]
