Takeo Fukuda (福田 赳夫, Fukuda Takeo, 14 January 1905 – 5 July 1995) was a Japanese politician who served as Prime Minister of Japan from 1976 to 1978. A member of the House of Representatives from 1952 to 1990, he was part of the Liberal Democratic Party from its foundation.

Born in Gunma Prefecture and educated at Tokyo Imperial University, Fukuda served as an official in the Ministry of Finance for two decades before entering politics. His political life was marked by his rivalry with Kakuei Tanaka, which was dubbed the "Kaku-Fuku War." As prime minister he formulated the Fukuda Doctrine and saw the conclusion of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between Japan and China.

His son, Yasuo Fukuda, followed him as a politician and served as prime minister from 2007 to 2008.
