Junko Tabei (田部井 淳子 Tabei Junko?), nata Junko Ishibashi (石橋 淳子 Ishibashi Junko?; Miharu, 22 settembre 1939 – Kawagoe, 20 ottobre 2016) è stata un'alpinista giapponese. Divenne nota soprattutto per essere stata la prima donna a raggiungere la vetta dell'Everest il 16 maggio 1975, impresa che fece di lei una leggenda dell'alpinismo femminile. Oltre all'ascensione dell'Everest nel 1975, compì, poi, la prima ascensione femminile di due Ottomila e ancora quella dello Shisha Pangma nel 1981. Fu inoltre la prima donna a completare l'ascesa delle Seven Summits.
