Soichi Noguchi (野口 聡一, Noguchi Sōichi, born 15 April 1965) is a Japanese aeronautical engineer and former JAXA astronaut. His first spaceflight was as a mission specialist aboard STS-114 on 26 July 2005 for NASA's first "return to flight" Space Shuttle mission after the Columbia disaster. He was also in space as part of the Soyuz TMA-17 crew and Expedition 22 to the International Space Station (ISS), returning to Earth on 2 June 2010. He is the sixth Japanese astronaut to fly in space, the fifth to fly on the Space Shuttle, and the first to fly on Crew Dragon.[2]

His third flight was on board the Dragon 2 capsule for the SpaceX Crew-1 mission which launched successfully on 15 November 2020 and landed on 2 May 2021. This makes him the third astronaut to fly on three different launch systems.[2]

He became a part-time lecturer at the graduate school of the University of Tokyo since 2011, a project professor since 2021.[3] As of 2022, he is a project professor at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Nihon University.[4]

He retired from astronaut duty and quit JAXA on 1 June 2022.[5] He assumed the honorary director of CupNoodles Museum since 7 June 2022,[6] the chief executive fellow of the Institute for International Socio-Economic Studies[7] and the advisor of IHI Corporation since 1 July 2022.[8] He is the representative of MiraiSpace Co., Ltd. (合同会社未来圏).[8][9]
