Satoshi Shimizu (清水 聡 Shimizu Satoshi?, born March 13, 1986 in Okayama) is a Japanese professional boxer. As an amateur, he won the bronze medal in the men's bantamweight division at the 2012 Olympics.
He is currently an employee of a children’s clothing maker, Miki House. He was Second lieutenant in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force in 2012, and was affiliated with his alma mater, Komazawa University in 2008.
Shimizu started boxing at a gym in Kurashiki, Okayama in the third grade of junior high school.
He competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics at featherweight (– 57 kg) but lost his first bout 9–12 to Yakup Kılıç. He was not happy about the judgement, and turned down the offers to sign professional contracts in order to win a medal at the Olympics. He secured the bronze medal in the featherweight division in the 2009 Asian Amateur Boxing Championships in Zhuhai, China, and won the National Sports Festival of Japan in the lightweight division to become a three-division champion of that title in the same year.
