Kōhei Tsuka (つか こうへい, Tsuka Kōhei; 24 April 1948 – 10 July 2010) was a Korean-Japanese playwright, theater director, and screenwriter. He was one of Japan's most influential theater figures, to the extent that recent Japanese theatrical history has been divided into pre-Tsuka and post-Tsuka periods.

He died of lung cancer in Kamogawa, Chiba Prefecture at age 62.
