Kazuyoshi Hoshino (Shinjitai: 星野 一義 Hoshino Kazuyoshi?, born in Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture, 1 July 1947) is a Japanese former racing driver and businessman.
Hoshino's nickname was "the fastest man/guy in Japan" (日本一速い男 Nippon ichi hayai otoko?). He won the Japanese national championships in the 90cc and 125cc classes for Kawasaki in 1968 before switching to cars as a Nissan factory driver in 1969.
Hoshino participated in two Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 24 October 1976 at the Japanese Grand Prix. Driving a Tyrrell-Ford for Heros Racing, he retired having used up his tyre supply.
