Masayuki Fujio (藤尾 正行 Fujio Masayuki, January 1, 1917 – October 22, 2006) was the Japanese Minister of Education, under the government of Yasuhiro Nakasone until 1986. He was a member of the right-wing Seiwa Seisaku Kenkyūkai faction of the Liberal Democratic Party, where he was described as being a "loyal vassal" to Takeo Fukuda, the founder of the faction.^[1]

In 1986, he was made Minister of Education by Prime Minister Nakasone, but he was soon fired by Nakasone after an interview with Bungei Shunju in which he made several controversial remarks about the Nanjing Massacre and Japan's annexation of Korea. In the interview, he denied the Nanjing Massacre, claiming murder was a part of war, and faulted Koreans for Japan's annexation of Korea.^[2]

He died of pneumonia on October 22, 2006.
