Kento Masaki (born 9 August 1987) is a Japanese Paralympic judoka in Super-Heavyweight.

In 2012 he became Paralympic champion in the +100kg by beating Song Wang (China) in the final.

The 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio is his second Games. In the +100kg, he won his second medal in the form of a bronze. That occurred after he had suffered his first-ever defeat in a Paralympic match in the semi-final to Adiljan Tuledibaev (Uzbekistan) who went on to win the gold medal, and Masaki ultimately won the bronze-medal match.
