Tsuyoshi Takagi (高木 毅, Takagi Tsuyoshi; born 16 January 1956) is a former Japanese politician who served in the House of Representatives in the Diet (national legislature) as a member of the Liberal Democratic Party.
A native of Tsuruga, Fukui and graduate of Aoyama Gakuin University he was elected for the first time in 2000 after an unsuccessful run in 1996. Because of his involvement in the 2023–2024 Japanese slush fund scandal Takagi did not receive official endorsement from the LDP in the 2024 Japanese general election.[1] Takagi ran as an independent in his constituency of Fukui 2nd district and lost his seat.
