Takeshi Takeoka (Japanese: たけおか たけし, romanized: Takeoka Takeshi; born 5 June 1999) is a Japanese judoka[2] and judo World Champion.[3]

He participated at the 2024 World Championships, winning silver medals in both. One year later, he won the gold medal in that same weight category at the 2025 World Championships.

In the semi-finals at the 2025 Judo Grand Slam Tokyo, he faced off against his Park24 teammate and two-time Olympic champion, Hifumi Abe. After a tense match that ran over 8 minutes into golden score, Abe scored a waza-ari with sasae-tsurikomi-ashi, defeating Takeoka. Takeoka then defeated Tajikstan's Obid Dzhebov in order to claim a bronze medal at the event.
