Emperor Go-Momozono (Japanese: 後桃園天皇, Hepburn: Go-Momozono-tennō; 5 August 1758 – 16 December 1779) was the 118th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He was named after his father Emperor Momozono. The wording of go- (後) in the name translates as "later", so he has also been referred to as "Later Emperor Momozono", "Momozono, the second", or "Momozono II".
