Moriteru Ueshiba (born April 2, 1951) is a martial arts specialist and the current Grand Master of Aikido. He is a grandson of Morihei Ueshiba, founder of aikido, and son of Kisshomaru Ueshiba. Ueshiba is the third and current Doshu (hereditary head) of the Aikikai.

Ueshiba was born on April 2, 1951, in Tokyo, Japan. Recalling his childhood during a 2004 interview, he said, "The first time I wore an Aikido uniform I was in the first grade of elementary school. But my family didn’t force me to do keiko (training) then, I just did it when I felt like it. I started training seriously in my high school years. My intention then was to become a successor to my father, and to preserve Kaiso’s [Morihei Ueshiba's] legacy for the future." 

In 1976, Ueshiba graduated from Meiji Gakuin University with a degree in economics. In 1996, he assumed the position of Dojocho (director/owner) of Aikikai Hombu Dojo. He assumed the title of Doshu on January 4, 1999, following the death of his father, Kisshomaru Ueshiba.

Ueshiba, a prominent representative of martial arts, has been a long-time member of Kurokawa Kai, with his formal role being a 'Saiko-Komon' (senior adviser). As a courtesy, Ueshiba has permitted the family to use the Aikikai Hombu Dojo as a form of headquarters, however, aikido training has remained open to the public.
