Shō Chū (1391–1444) was a king of the First Shō dynasty of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The son of King Shō Hashi, he was appointed to oversee the subdued polity Hokuzan in 1422. He ascended to the throne after Hashi's death in 1439 and ruled until his death. Very little is known about him or his reign, and he is attested mainly through trade and tributary records. He was buried alongside his father after his death in 1444 and was succeeded by his son Shō Shitatsu.
