Narumi Takahashi (高橋 成美 Takahashi Narumi?, born January 15, 1992) is a Japanese pair skater and six-time Japanese national champion (2009-2012, 2014, 2015). She currently skates with partner Ryo Shibata. With former partner Mervin Tran, she is also the 2012 World bronze medalist, the 2010 Junior World silver medalist, and the 2010–11 Junior Grand Prix Final champion. They were the first pair to win a World medal for Japan. She has also skated with Ryuichi Kihara and Alexandr Zaboev.

Narumi Takahashi was born in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Her father's job took the family to China when she was nine. She lived in China for five years. She moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada to train with Tran in 2007. As a result, Takahashi is fluent in Japanese, Mandarin and English. In addition to skating, Takahashi also played soccer for six years on a city team.
