Aiko Nakamura (中村藍子, Nakamura Aiko) (born 28 December 1983 in Osaka), is a female Japanese tennis player. She was once the second highest WTA-ranked Japanese singles tennis player, at 107 (21 July 2008), after Ai Sugiyama.
Like her role-model Monica Seles, she has a double-handed forehand and backhand, but serves right-handed. She has won two ITF singles and two ITF doubles titles. In 2006, she made it to the final at the Japan Open in Tokyo, where she lost to Marion Bartoli of France 2–6, 6–2, 6–2.
Nakamura plays for Japan's Fed Cup team. Having not played since the end of 2009, Nakamura is currently unranked. However, she has been given a wildcard into the 2010 HP Open in Osaka, Japan. She defeated Alexandra Panova in the first round 7–6(5), 2–6, 6–3 before falling to Kimiko Date Krumm 2–6, 0–6.
