Kunio Miyoshi (三好 邦夫,   Miyoshi Kunio) is a former Japanese director. Graduating college in 1973, he subsequently joined Toho Studios as an assistant director. Miyoshi served as 1st AD on all of director Takao Okawara's tokusatsu films from 1991 to 1995, Kensho Yamashita's Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla in 1994, and Okihiro Yoneda's Rebirth of Mothra in 1996.
