Katsukawa Shunkō I (Japanese: 勝川 春好; 1743 – 1 December 1812) was a Japanese artist who designed ukiyo-e-style woodblock prints and paintings in Edo (modern Tokyo).
He was a student of Katsukawa Shunshō, and is generally credited with designing the first large-head actor portraits (ōkubi-e).
As his teacher did, Shunkō used a jar-shaped seal and was known as kotsubo ("little jar").
At 45, the right-handed Shunkō became partially paralyzed and ceased designing prints, although he continued producing paintings with his left hand.
