Masato Uchishiba (内柴 正人 Uchishiba Masato?) is a Japanese judoka who won the gold medal in the men's under 66 kg division at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. To win the Olympic gold, he defeated Jozef Krnac of Slovakia. Of winning the gold, he said, "I wanted this so badly I wouldn't have cared if it was my last fight ever," though his comments were officially translated as: "It is probably my last Olympics, that is why I am proud of my medal." At the 2005 Judo World Championships, he won silver in his division.
