Ude-Hishigi-Waki-Gatame (Japanese: 腕挫腋固) is an armlock and one of the official 29 grappling techniques of Kodokan Judo. It is one of the nine joint techniques of the Kansetsu-waza list, one of the three grappling lists in Judo's Katame-waza enumerating 29 grappling techniques. Falling directly to the mat while applying or attempting to apply the Waki gatame in competition is listed as an hansoku make (反則負け; literally "foul-play loss") by the International Judo Federation.

It is known as Fujiwara armbar in professional wrestling and occasionally in mixed martial arts.
