Yuki Ishikawa (石川雄規, Ishikawa Yūki, born February 8, 1967) is a Japanese professional wrestler, former mixed martial artist and promoter.

Ishikawa has also competed extensively on the Japanese independent circuit as a freelancer, competing for companies such as Pro Wrestling Zero1, All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) and Inoki Genome Federation (IGF) as a freelancer.
