Dongwu (simplified Chinese: 东武; traditional Chinese: 東武; pinyin: Dōngwǔ; lit. 'east valiant'; February – November 1648) was the era name (nianhao) of Zhu Changqing, Prince of Huai of the Southern Ming. It lasted for one year.
This era name is not recorded in historical texts such as the History of Ming, but can be found in Volume 7 of Xu Ming Jishi Benmo (續明紀事本末) and in Li Zhaoluo's Ji yuan bian (紀元編) with annotations from an anonymous author's Jing qi bie bian (鯨琦別編).
