Asahina Takashi (朝比奈 隆, 9 July 1908 – 29 December 2001) was a Japanese conductor.

Asahina was born in Tokyo as an illegitimate child of Kaichi Watanabe.

Inspired by a meeting with Wilhelm Furtwängler in the 1950s, he began a lifelong attachment to the music of Anton Bruckner, recording the complete Bruckner symphonies several times.

For many years, he was associated with the North German Radio Orchestra in Hamburg.
