Akiko Morigami (森上 亜希子, Morigami Akiko, born 12 January 1980) is a Japanese former tennis player. She turned professional in 1998. On 15 August 2005, she reached her career-high singles ranking of world No. 41.

Morigami won one singles title in her career, defeating top-seeded Marion Bartoli in 2007 in the final of the Prague Open. She reached two other singles finals, both in Cincinnati (falling to Patty Schnyder in 2005, and losing to Anna Chakvetadze in 2007). At the 2006 French Open, she upset then-world No. 3, Nadia Petrova, in the first round.

Morigami retired after the 2009 Japan Open. In the first round, she defeated qualifier Anastasia Rodionova in three sets, and in the second, she lost to the eventual champion, Samantha Stosur, 1–6, 2–6. This was her last match on the professional tour.
