Ie Wōji Chōchoku (伊江 王子 朝直, 23 September 1818 – 4 January 1896), also known by the Chinese-style name Shō Ken (尚 健), was a prince of Ryukyu Kingdom. Sometimes he was called Prince Ie (伊江王子) for short.

Prince Ie was the fifth son of King Shō Kō. He served as sessei from 1872 to 1875. After Ryukyu was annexed by Japan in 1879, Prince Ie was incorporated into the newly established kazoku peerage; and in 1890, he was granted the title of baron (男爵, danshaku).
