Seigo Inoue (born October 8, 1986) is a Japanese professional mixed martial artist and grappler who has fought for World Victory Road, DEEP, Pancrase, M-1 Global and Cage Force.

Seigo is the younger brother of former Lightweight and Welterweight King of Pancrase, Katsuya Inoue. Seigo was the winner of the DEEP's Future King Tournament in 2007. His most notable fight was against Venezuelan UFC fighter and former Strikeforce contender Maximo Blanco.

In 2010 Seigo announced at a WVR press conference that he had semi retired from mixed martial arts competition due to a fractured orbital bone he suffered from his fight with Maximo Blanco.

Since his hiatus from fighting Inoue has been active in grappling, having appeared in several events including Grapplers Quest and FILA. Inoue plans to compete in the 2013 ADCC World Championship alongside his Wajyutsu Keisyukai teammate and UFC fighter Keita Nakamura, who has previously competed in the ADCC in 2009 and 2011. Nakamura and Inoue later elected not to participate in the 2013 ADCC World Championship due to their focus on Shoot fighting. Inoue was a competitor in the 2013 BJJ European Championship.

After spending nearly 4 years away from professional mixed martial arts competition Seigo will make his return on December 8, 2012 at DEEP: Cage Impact 2012 against Kosuke Umeda. Inoue has posted on his blog that he is also tapped to appear at DREAM.18 against professional wrestler and World Victory Road veteran Yukio Sakaguchi, he later cancelled this fight due to his loss at DEEP: Cage Impact 2012 a fight he lost via a controversial decision.
