Yukiya Satō (佐藤 幸椰, Satō Yukiya; born 19 June 1995) is a Japanese ski jumper.
He participated at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2019, winning a medal.
After multiple strong World Cup seasons, his performance in the 2022-23 season dropped dramatically. During this season, he failed to qualify for more than 10 World Cup events.
The following season (2023-24) he only participated in a few COC competitions, aside from local and national competitions.
His performance got better and better as the 2024-25 season began. After a strong performance in multiple COC competitions, he earned a return to the World Cup stage through the COC quota. Here, he managed to score World Cup points for the first time in almost two years. He was selected for the Japan Ski Jumping squad to participate in the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2025 in Trondheim.
