Miyuki Hatoyama (鳩山 幸 Hatoyama Miyuki?, born June 28, 1943 Shanghai, China) is the wife of former Prime Minister of Japan Yukio Hatoyama. Hatoyama, originally an actress by profession, describes herself as "constantly curious" and a "life composer", who pursues a variety of interests, including a stylist, interior designer and cookbook author.

In an interview, then Prime Minister-designate Yukio Hatoyama credited Miyuki with his professional success and praised her enthusiasm. Hatoyama indicated that Miyuki would take an unusually prominent role for the wife of a Japanese prime minister during his administration.

Hatoyama was born on 1943 in Shanghai, China (now People's Republic of China) to devout Protestant parents while the city was under Japanese occupation during World War II. She was raised in the Japanese city of Kobe.

Hatoyama was an actress in the all-female Takarazuka Revue during the 1960s. She quit the troupe and her stage career when she was in her mid-20s and moved to the United States.
