Dai Nagao (Japanese: 長尾大; born 28 March 1971 in Chiba, Japan) is a Japanese composer, musician and producer. He was a member and composer of the popular musical group Do As Infinity from its founding until it disbanded in September 2005. Though sort of a behind the scenes member of the band later on, he did play live with the band full time when it first started, as an acoustic guitarist until about 2001. Then he would appear occasionally in a few concerts as a special guest, including the final live on November 25, 2005. Nagao is one of the very few Japanese artists that plays a custom double-neck acoustic guitar.

His new projects include composing songs for Amasia Landscape. And also is producing bands and singers in Asia such as SE7EN, Sayaka Yamamoto, Mount Position, I-lulu, Voxray, Dazzfeed, Sacra, Blazespirit. He frequently composes or co-composes songs for Ayumi Hamasaki with the most recent one being BLUE BIRD in June 2006.
