Nichiren Shu (日蓮宗, lit. "Nichiren Faith") is the oldest of Nichiren Buddhist sects. It is smaller and less well known internationally than the Nichiren Shoshu or the Soka Gakkai movement.

Nichiren Shu does not accept Nichiren Shoshu's claim that Nikko was the designated successor of Nichiren. Doctrinally, Nichiren Shu states that Sakyamuni is the Buddha and Nichiren is merely his priest, not his divine reincarnation.
