Jeff Miyahara (born February 4, 1977) is a Japanese record producer and songwriter based in Tokyo, Japan. He is the chief creative officer for the Japanese branch of HYBE.

Beginning his career in the music industry in 1999, he has worked with many Japanese artists such as JUJU, Kana Nishino, Namie Amuro, TVXQ, Weather Girls, as well as international artists like Boyz II Men, Girls' Generation, and Timbaland. He has accrued many Oricon rated No. 1 Digital Download hits, including "Kimi No Subete Ni" by Spontania ft. JUJU and JASMINE's "sad to say". He was awarded several Gold Disc Awards by the Recording Industry Association of Japan in 2005, 2008, 2009, and was titled Nikkei Entertainment's "Hitmaker of the Year" in 2010. He has sold over 40 million units to date.

In 2009, Miyahara signed a deal with UM360, the management division of Universal Music Japan, after the success of his 2008 breakout hit "Kiminosubeteni", a hip-pop track he produced for Spontania featuring JUJU, which sold over 5 million digital downloads. That same year he was involved in the release of over fifty CDs. He has also collaborated with performers from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia.

Miyahara has cited his background as a Japanese of ethnic Korean origin raised in the United States as the foundation on which his approach to songwriting and production is conceived.
