Yuki Saito (斉藤 由貴, Saitō Yuki?, born on September 10, 1966 in Minami-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese singer-songwriter, actress, essayist, and poet. Her married name is Yuki Isarai (小井 由貴, Isarai Yuki?), though she continues to work under her maiden name. She attended Kanagawa Prefectural Shimizugaoka High School (now Yokohama Seiryo Sogo High School). Her father owns a long-standing and respected obi shop, and her brother is the actor Ryūji Saitō.

Saito is well known in Japan for being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as she refused to work on Sundays. Additionally, in the 1986 film Koisuru Onnatachi, Saito used a fake cigarette used for asthma patients due to her LDS beliefs, which forbid the use of tobacco, including smoking. Her hobbies include songwriting, illustrating and reading.
