Takakura Teru (Japanese: 高倉輝, Hepburn: Takakura Teru, born Takakura Terutaka, Japanese: 高倉輝豊; April 14, 1891 – April 2, 1986) was a Japanese novelist, playwright, politician and central committee member of the Japanese Communist Party from 1950 to 1951.

Takakura graduated from Kyoto Imperial University and was a left-wing thinker of the Kyoto School.^[1] He was arrested several times under the Public Security Preservation Laws prior to the Allied occupation of Japan. In 1945 he fled parole to attend a funeral and was arrested along with Miki Kiyoshi, who he had gone to for clothes and money.^[2]^[3] This would inevitably lead to Miki's death in prison. Takakura however, following his release at the hands of the Allied Occupation, went on to become a politician for the Japanese Communist Party in the early 1950s.
