Tenpyō-jingo (天平神護) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Tenpyō-hōji and before Jingo-keiun. This period spanned the years from January 765 through August 767.[1] The reigning empress was Empress Shōtoku (称徳天皇). This was the same woman who had reigned previously as Empress Kōken (孝謙天皇).[2]
