{{Nihongo|Shigeru Inoda|伊野田 繁|Inoda Shigeru|1955–2008}} was a Japanese ophthalmologist, surgeon and amateur astronomer.
He is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of 17 asteroids at the Karasuyama Observatory ({{small|889}}) between 1986 and 1992, all of which were co-discovered with Japanese astronomer Takeshi Urata, except for his lowest numbered discovery 3394 Banno. The inner main-belt asteroid 5484 Inoda was named in his honor on 1 September 1993 ({{small|M.P.C. 22510}}).
