Takashi Okamura (岡村崔, Okamura Takashi, born 1927), is a Japanese photographer who has specialized in the photography of art.

Okamura was born on 13 December 1927 in Kichijōji, Tokyo. He studied architecture at Nihon University from 1948. Okamura was a keen and proficient skiier (skiing as a representative of Japan in Chamonix in 1959), and a photographer of skiing. In 1960 he became a professional photographer, also writing about photography and skiing.

Okamura moved to Rome in 1965 and since that time has specialized in photographing buildings, frescos, and works of art, frequently contributing the photographs to lavishly produced books.
