Susana Shizuko Higuchi Miyagawa (Latin American Spanish pronunciation: [suˈsana ʃiˈsuko jˈɣutʃi miʝaˈɣawa], Japanese: 樋口 静子, Hepburn: Higuchi Shizuko, Japanese pronunciation: [çiꜜɡɯtɕi ɕiꜜzɯko]; 26 April 1950 – 8 December 2021) was a Peruvian politician and engineer. She served as First Lady of Peru from 1990 to 1994 as the wife of President Alberto Fujimori. In 1994, she described her husband as a corrupt tyrant and divorced him in 1995.

Higuchi was elected as a member of the Independent Moralizing Front (Frente Independiente Moralizador, FIM), a reformist political party allied with then president Alejandro Toledo, in both the 2000 and 2001 general elections. She served as a member of the Congress for two terms from 2000 to 2006,
