Masaki Honda (本多政材, Masaki Honda, May 17, 1889 – July 17, 1964) was a lieutenant general in the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II.

Masaki Honda was born in Nagano prefecture and graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1910 and the Army War College in 1917.

After his promotion to Lieutenant-General in October 1939, he became deputy chief of staff of the China Expeditionary Army until October 1940, when he received command of the IJA 8th Division which was active in Manchuria.

With this outnumbered and ill-equipped Army he fought in the Burma Campaign 1944–45, where he performed very creditable defensive actions against the enemy, including a brilliant evacuation of the IJA 56th Division from under the noses of the advancing Chinese on 4 February 1945.

But finally, his scattered and broken army had to withdraw to Southern Burma, where he surrendered in August 1945.
