Yukiko Osada (長田 友喜子, Osada Yukiko, born May 14, 1981 in Yamanashi) is a retired Japanese swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events.[1] Osada won two bronze medals in the 200 m butterfly and the medley relay at the 2003 Summer Universiade in Daegu, South Korea.[2]

Osada qualified for the women's 200 m butterfly at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by attaining an A-standard entry time of 2:09.97 from the national championships.[3][4] In the morning's preliminary heats, she recorded the eighth fastest qualifying time of 2:11.20 to secure her spot in the semifinal run. On the evening session, Osada failed to qualify for the final run, as she placed thirteenth overall in the semifinals, with a fourth slowest time of 2:11.35.[5]
