Koji Ito (伊東 浩司) is a retired Japanese track and field sprinter and Japan's fourth-fastest record holder of 100m sprint with a time of 10.00 seconds.

In 1993 he won a bronze medal at the 1993 East Asian Games and the 1993 Asian Athletics Championships.
He managed to reach the quarter-finals of the 200 m of the World Championships that year.
His 1994 was highlighted by a silver medal at his first Asian Games in Hiroshima.
He represented Japan at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and managed to reach the semifinals of the 200 m and helped the 4×400 m relay to secure fifth place in the final in an Asian record time.
He won his first major championship title in 1997, winning the 200 m gold at the East Asian Games, but he did not get past the heat stages at either the IAAF World Indoor Championships or the World Championships in Athletics.
He held the 100 metres Japanese national record between December 1998 and September 2017.
He is a former Asian record holder in the 100 metres and 200 metres, and still holds the indoor record as well as the 4×400 metres relay record.

Ito never again matched the form of his high-water-mark 1998 season and retired in 2002.
He put in a strong performance at the 1999 World Indoor Championships, just missing out on the 60 metres final and running an Asian indoor record time for fifth place in the 200 m competition.
At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Ito finished seventh in the semi-finals in both the 100 m and 200 m events (10.39 s and 20.67 s respectively) ; the Japanese men's 4x100 m team (Nobuharu Asahara, Koji Ito, Shigeyuki Kojima, Shingo Suetsugu) finished sixth in 38.66 s.
