Shunpei Uto (鵜藤 俊平 Utō Shunpei?, born December 1, 1918) is a Japanese freestyle swimmer who won two medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

Uto endured much hardship after World War II and deposited his both medals to a pawnshop to get some money for living. He later found a job in general affairs at the company, but was often bullied here. After retiring he moved to Chiba Prefecture to do agriculture.
