Emperor Go-Mizunoo (後水尾天皇 Go-Mizunoo-tennō?, 29 June 1596 – 11 September 1680) was the 108th Emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
Go-Mizunoo's reign spanned the years from 1611 through 1629.
This 17th-century sovereign was named after the 9th-century Emperor Seiwa and go- (後?), translates as "later", and thus, he could be called the "Later Emperor Mizunoo". The Japanese word go has also been translated to mean the "second one", and in some older sources, this emperor may be identified as "Mizunoo II".
Before Go-Mizunoo's accession to the Chrysanthemum Throne, his personal name (his imina) was Kotohito (政仁?) or Masahito.
He was the third son of Emperor Go-Yōzei. His mother was Konoe Sakiko, the daughter of Konoe Sakihisa.
He resided with his family in the Dairi of the Heian Palace. The family included at least 33 children; and four of them would occupy the throne.
