Shoma Uno (宇野 昌磨, Uno Shōma, born 17 December 1997) is a retired Japanese figure skater. He is a three-time Olympic medalist (2018 silver, 2022 bronze, 2022 team silver[a]), a two-time World champion (2022, 2023), and a two-time World silver medalist (2018, 2017). He was also the 2019 Four Continents champion, the 2022–23 Grand Prix Final champion, a fourteen-time Grand Prix medalist (8 gold, 6 silver), the 2017 Asian Winter Games champion, and a six-time Japanese national champion (2016–2019, 2022–2023). At the junior level, Uno is the 2015 World Junior champion, the 2014–15 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, and 2012 Youth Olympic silver medalist.

Uno is the first skater to successfully land a quadruple flip, and the second skater behind Yuzuru Hanyu to land a quadruple loop in an international competition.[2][3] In 2023, Uno became the first man from Japan to win back-to-back world titles since 1896. He is also the historic record-holder for the highest score by a junior in the short program.
