Toshiaki Imai (今井敏明 Imai Toshiaki?, born December 29, 1954) is a Japanese football manager and former player. He currently manages Waseda University.

In November 2005, Imai was appointed by Japan Football Association to coach Chinese Taipei national football team and to help the football development in Taiwan. It was his first international assignment. He accepted the challenge and signed a one-year contract with Chinese Taipei Football Association in December. Under his guidance, although the team did not have any amazing performance in international competitions, it was believed that Imai did bring good influence on the team, as well as football activities in Taiwan.

On December 15, 2006, he extended his contract with CTFA[1]. In addition to men's national team, he also led Chinese Taipei women's national football team in the 2008 Olympic Games qualification in February, 2007.

In 2008, he returned to Japan and became the manager of Waseda University.
