Tenmangū (天満宮) is a Shinto shrine which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane as Tenjin. There are about 14,000 such shrines in Japan; famous examples include:

• Dazaifu Tenmangū (Dazaifu, Fukuoka) -- One of the Sōhonsha (head shrines) of Tenman-gū
• Kitano Tenmangū (Kamigyo, Kyoto) -- Another Sōhonsha of Tenman-gū
• Nagaoka Tenmangū [ja] (Nagaokakyo, Kyoto)
• Misode Tenmangū [ja] (Onomichi, Hiroshima)
• Osaka Tenmangū (Kita-ku, Osaka)
• Hōfu Tenmangū (Hofu, Yamaguchi)
• Yabo Tenmangū (Kunitachi, Tokyo)
• Yamada Tenmangū, Nagoya
• Yushima Tenmangū (Bunkyo, Tokyo)
• Kameido Tenjin Shrine (Koto, Tokyo)

Dazaifu Tenman-gū and Kitano Tenmangū are often grouped together with another of these shrines and called the "Three Great Tenjin Shrines", but there is no generally accepted criterion for the selection of a third shrine.
