Takayuki Miyazawa (1964–) is a Japanese veterinarian and virologist. He spent many years at Kyoto University, where his research focused on veterinary virology, particularly the evolution of animal viruses, retroviruses, and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). During the COVID-19 pandemic, he became widely known in Japan for his public commentary on infectious diseases, scientific evidence, and risk communication. His book The Responsibility of a Virologist reflects on the role of scientists in public discourse and argues for evidence-based decision-making and responsible communication during public health crises.
