Takahiro Ikeyama (池山隆寛, born December 17, 1965 in Amagasaki, Hyōgo, Japan) is a former Nippon Professional Baseball infielder. A slugging shortstop, Ikeyama played for the Yakult Swallows his entire career, from 1984–2002.

Ikeyama was a five-time Pacific League Best Nine Award-winner and a seven-time NPB All-Star. He won the 1992 Pacific League Golden Glove Award.

Ikeyama was part of the Central League-champion Swallows team that lost the 1992 Japan Series to Seibu. He was a member of the 1993 and 1995 Swallows squads that won the Japan Series those years.

Some years after retiring as a player, Ikeyama joined the coaching staff of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles; he has been a coach with the Swallows since 2011.

Jim Albright, expert on Japanese professional baseball, ranks Ikeyama as among the top shortstops in NPB history, on the Swallows' franchise all-star team, on the 1990s Central League all-star team, and on the overall 1990s all-star team.^[1]
