Uzō Nishiyama (西山 夘三, Nishiyama Uzō, 1 March 1911 – 2 April 1994) was a Japanese modernist architect, city planner, and architectural scholar. He is noted for his application of methods of scientific research to the study of architecture and urban planning.[1][2] Nishiyama served as a professor at Kyoto University for over 25 years, and produced a number of seminal writings on architectural theory.

The Uzo Nishiyama Memorial Library in Kyoto, which specializes in works relating to architecture and urban planning, is named after Nishiyama.[3]
