Saionji Kishi (西園寺 禧子; ? – 19 November 1333), or more formally Fujiwara no Kishi (藤原 禧子), was an empress consort of Japan. She was the consort of Emperor Go-Daigo of Japan. She was given the regnal name (join-gō (女院号)) Reiseimon-in (礼成門院) in 1332 when her husband was banished, but it was abolished when he returned to the chrysanthemum throne in 1333. Later she was given the second regnal name Go-Kyōgoku-in (後京極院) upon her death. She was also an excellent poet, 14 of whose waka poetry are included in chokusen wakashū (imperially-commissioned anthologies).
