Mika Miyazato (Japanese: 宮里美香, born 10 October 1989) is a Japanese professional golfer who plays on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour.

As an amateur, Miyazato won the 2004 Japan Amateur Women's Championship at the age of 14, and was the youngest player to win the event. In the Asian Games, she won silver medals in the individual and team competitions. Miyazato turned professional in 2008 after finishing in a tie for 12th in the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament, a finish that gave her exempt status on the LPGA Tour for the 2009 season. In her first Tour season, she had fourth-place finishes at the LPGA Corning Classic and Wegmans LPGA tournaments.[1] Miyazato's first professional victory came at the Japan Women's Open Golf Championship in October 2010.[2] That year, she also had five top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour, including two third-place results, and was 17th on the money list with more than $600,000 in earnings.[3] In the 2011 U.S. Women's Open, Miyazato held the 36-hole lead before finishing in fifth.[4][5]

Although both are from Okinawa, she is not related to fellow Japanese LPGA Tour player Ai Miyazato.[6][7]
