Takumi Nemoto (根本 匠, Nemoto Takumi, born March 7, 1951) is a former Japanese politician of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) who served as a member of the House of Representatives in the Diet (national legislature).

In January 2019, it was revealed that the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare had been publishing inaccurate monthly labor survey data for nearly 15 years, which led to over 20 million people being underpaid in work-related benefits.

The opposition accused Nemoto of being involved in a government coverup to boost Prime Minister Abe's Abenomics policies.

A motion of no-confidence was filed against Nemoto on March 1 but was voted down by the ruling LDP coalition.
