Eiko Masuyama (増山 江威子: Masuyama Eiko - 22 April 1936) born as Tomoko Masada (政田 知子: Masada Tomoko) was a voice actress and is a narrator from Tokyo who was part of Aoni Production.

Before she became a voice actress, her speech was slow and she was shocked when her teacher told her "You can't speak properly". At 12 hoping to improve her speech, she joined the Children's Theater Company and was supervised by Miyoko Asō developing her interest in acting. Afterwards, she worked in a theater troupe with Sandayū Dokumamushi and Yasushi Inayoshi due to that there were so few actresses. In the 1960s, she joined Aoni Production and became a voice actress.
