Yukihiko Shimamura (島村雪彦, Shimamura Yukihiko^?) is a Japanese adult video (AV) director whose career has spanned some 25 years and hundreds of videos.

Shimamura began his career in adult video in the mid-1980s with the h.m.p. studio, which had been founded in 1981 as one of the earliest AV companies. He was one of the directors instrumental in turning the emphasis at h.m.p. from its early S&M videos to single actress "beautiful girl" (bishōjo) works. He also established the popular Palace Virgin (処女宮) series of videos at h.m.p. At the same time, he also directed the theatrical film Yume dorei (夢どれい^?), with a screenplay by Oniroku Dan, based on one of his S&M novels. The film was produced under the h.m.p. "Christine" label and distributed by Nikkatsu in September 1987.

Shimamura directed more than 50 videos at h.m.p., through the late 1990s, when he also began working with other studios, such as Max-A, Atlas21, Alice Japan and Crystal-Eizou. Since the year 2000, Shimamura has been one of the most frequently used directors at Crystal-Eizou, with more than 100 credits to his name, and he also has been one of the top directors at Max-A.

In a break from his AV work, Shimamura also directed the September 1999 softcore V-cinema title 重役秘書　役員室での情事, starring h.m.p. AV actress Mai Asakura.
