Nobuhiko Takada (Japanese: 高田伸彦, ring name: 高田 延彦) (born April 12, 1962) is a Japanese former mixed martial artist, retired professional wrestler, actor, and writer. He competed in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF) and the Union of Wrestling Forces International (UWFI) in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming one of the highest figures of the "shoot-style" movement.

He also founded and starred at the sports entertainment professional wrestling promotion Hustle from 2004 to 2009, and worked as an executive for the Rizin Fighting Federation from 2015 to 2023.
