Sakura Miyawaki (Japanese: 宮脇 咲良, romanized: Miyawaki Sakura; born March 19, 1998), better known mononymously as Sakura, is a Japanese singer and actress based in South Korea. She is a member of the South Korean girl group Le Sserafim, and a former member of South Korean-Japanese girl group Iz*One and Japanese girl groups AKB48 and HKT48.

Miyawaki began her music career with the girl group HKT48 in 2011 and was a concurrent member of their sister group AKB48 from 2014 to 2018. During her tenure, she held center positions for the singles "Kimi wa Melody" and "No Way Man". Miyawaki took a hiatus from HKT48 in 2018 after placing second in the reality competition show Produce 48, joining the girl group Iz*One until 2021, then leaving HKT48 a few months later to pursue her idol career in South Korea by joining Le Sserafim, which debuted in May 2022.
