Akira Sakata (坂田明; born February 21, 1945 in Kure, Hiroshima) is a Japanese free jazz saxophonist. He trained as a marine biologist. He joined the Yamashita Yosuke Trio from 1972 till 1979 and toured internationally with them. In 1986, he performed with Last Exit with Bill Laswell. This performance was released as 1987's ''Noise of Trouble: Last Exit Live in Tokyo''.
