Masayuki Fujio (藤尾 正行 Fujio Masayuki, January 1, 1917 – October 22, 2006) was the Japanese Minister of Education, under the government of Yasuhiro Nakasone until 1986.
He was fired by Nakasone after his interview for Bungei Shunju, in which he made several controversial statements regarding Japan's role in World War II. In the interview, he claimed that "killing people in war is not murder in terms of international law" and that the Tokyo War Trial "cannot be considered correct." He also equated Japanese visiting Yasukuni Shrine to Chinese visiting Confucian temples, and claimed that the Nanking Massacre is a fabrication.
He was promptly fired by Nakasone, as he had then still refused to apologize and withdraw his statements.
