Momoshiki Otsutsuki (Japanese: 大筒木 モモシキ, Hepburn: Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki) is a fictional character, first introduced in Pierrot's 2015 anime film, Boruto: Naruto the Movie which acts as a sequel to Masashi Kishimoto's manga Naruto. A descendant of Otsutsuki and the series' villain Kaguya, Momoshiki appears in the film as the antagonist, searching to plant a Divine Tree in the world by absorbing the energy possessed by ninjas, the chakra, most notably one of the protagonists, Naruto Uzumaki. While in the film, Momoshiki is killed by the combined forces between Naruto and his son, Boruto, he plays a bigger role in the retelling of the movie, the manga and anime series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations; in his last moments Momoshiki places a cursed seal inside Boruto so that he will gradually revive through the child's body.

Momoshiki was created and designed by Masashi Kishimoto based on the Japanese figure Minamoto no Yoshitsune. The staff paid carefully to the handling of Momoshiki in the film throughout his fight scenes against the Uzumaki family and the ninja vigilante Sasuke Uchiha. However, he was given less focus in Mikio Ikemoto's series as the narrative focused more on Boruto and his adoptive brother Kawaki. The character is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa in Japanese and Xander Mobus in English.

Critical response to Momoshiki has been mixed. Reviewers enjoyed the character's fight scenes but felt that he was a weak villain due to his lack of appealing traits and how he is overshadowed by the protagonists. However, his role in the sequel earned a major impact for playing a key role in the narrative despite his death.
