Shinchō 眞迢 (active 16th c., traditional lifedates uncertain — conventionally placed in the 16th century, c. 1500–1580) was a senior disciple of Shinsei 眞盛 (眞盛) and a leading figure of the early Tendai Shinsei-shū 天台真盛宗 (Saikyō-ji lineage) of the Tendai fudan-nenbutsu tradition. He is one of three principal disciples of Shinsei whose vernacular Dharma-discourses (hōgo 法語) are preserved in the Taishō corpus.
His KR6t0122 Zhēntiáo shàngrén fǎyǔ 眞迢上人法語 (“Dharma-Discourse of the Master Shinchō”) preserves an extended doctrinal-instructional exchange on the Tendai enmyō (圓融, “perfect-interpenetration”) integration of fudan-nenbutsu with the Tendai Lotus-Pure-Land synthesis. His best-known work is the Pòxié xiǎnzhèng jì 破邪顯正記 (“Record of Smashing-the-Heterodox and Manifesting-the-Orthodox”), referenced in the opening of the hōgo.
He is sparsely documented in the standard biographical sources beyond his sectarian-lineage role. Saikyō-ji head-temple records preserve the principal biographical information.
