Miyataka Shimizu (清水 都貴, Shimizu Miyataka) (born November 23, 1981 in Saitama Prefecture) is a Japanese former professional racing cyclist. After beginning cycling at Hatoyama High School, he attended the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Kanoya before becoming a professional in 2004. Shimizu is in general considered an all-rounder. His victory at Paris–Corrèze in 2008, the first of a UCI category 1 stage race by a Japanese, has been termed "epoch making." In 2014, he was chosen to represent Japan at the 2014 UCI Road World Championships in the men's road race. He announced he would retire at the end of the 2014 season.
