Yuki Kure (呉 由姫, Kure Yuki, born December 4) is a Japanese manga artist and illustrator born in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. She is the character designer for Koei's third Neoromance series, Kin'iro no Corda.

She also authors the manga adaptation of the game, which has been serialized in Hakusensha's monthly shōjo manga magazine, LaLa, since October 2003.

Yuki Kure was born on December 4, in Chiba Prefecture. According to an interview with Hakusensha, she previously studied the piano, which she feels is refreshing. She has stated that she wanted to play other musical instruments including the cello, bassoon and tuba.

She has mentioned that she finds it very difficult to draw Tsukimori from Kin'iro no Corda, but very easy to draw Hihara and young girls. She also likes to watch soccer matches and collect merchandise.

Reiko Shimizu, Natsumi Itsuki, Kyōko Hikawa and other LaLa manga artists are her influences when she is drawing manga.
