Toru Matoba (的場 徹,   Matoba Tōru) was a Japanese special effects director and cameraman.

Matoba began his career in 1939, working as an assistant cameraman for the now-defunct film company Nikkatsu Tamagawa Photo Studio and became inspired by the two-part 1940 film Enoken's Sun Wukong. He joined Daiei Tokyo Studio as a cinematographer during World War II. Specializing in visual effects, he worked on a number of Daiei's early tokusatsu films, such as 1956's Warning from Space, and 1957's The Invisible Man vs. The Human Fly, and 1962's Kujira Gami.
