Isamu Akasaki (japanisch 赤崎 勇, Akasaki Isamu; * 30. Januar 1929 in der Präfektur Kagoshima; † 1. April 2021 in Nagoya) war ein japanischer Ingenieurwissenschaftler. Akasaki stellte 1989 erstmals blaue Leuchtdioden, basierend auf dem p-n-Übergang, mit dem Halbleitermaterial Galliumnitrid her. Er erhielt dafür im Jahr 2011 die von der IEEE vergebene Auszeichnung IEEE Edison Medal. Im Jahr 2014 wurde er gemeinsam mit Hiroshi Amano und Shuji Nakamura mit dem Nobelpreis für Physik ausgezeichnet.
