Yuki Sunaga (須長 由季, Sunaga Yuki, born 28 December 1980 in Sakado, Saitama) is a Japanese windsurfer, who specialized in Neil Pryde RS:X class.[1][2] As of September 2013, Sunaga is ranked no. 53 in the world for the sailboard class by the International Sailing Federation.
Sunaga competed in the women's RS:X class at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London by finishing thirty-third and receiving a berth from the ISAF World Championships in Perth, Western Australia.
