Hiromasa Shirai (白井 宏昌,   Shirai Hiromasa) is a Japanese art director.

Shirai joined Toho sometime prior to 1959 through a friend from art school, working first on the film The Three Treasures.[1] He worked closely alongside Yasuyuki Inoue, drawing blueprints for miniatures before helping to decorate sets as a regular art assistant in later years.[1] He continued to work for the company until at least 1970, likely departing following Inoue's pursuit of a freelance career in 1971.
