Reiko Miyagi (27 May 1922 – 1 June 2008) was a Japanese tennis player of the 1950s and 1960s. She was the elder sister of grand slam doubles champion Atsushi Miyagi.

A four-time Asian Games gold medalist, Miyagi won a record thirty titles at the All Japan Championships across singles and doubles. Ten of those national titles were in singles, including eight that Miyagi won consecutively from 1956 to 1963.
