Masaharu Taguchi (田口 正治 Taguchi Masaharu?, January 9, 1916 – June 29, 1982) was a Japanese freestyle swimmer. At the 1936 Olympics he won a gold medal in the 4×200 m relay, setting a new world record. In the individual 100 m race he finished almost simultaneously with Masanori Yusa and Shigeo Arai and was placed fourth, although photographs suggest he was second.[1][2]
Taguchi graduated from the Rikkyo University, and later worked at a Daimaru department store and coached swimming at a local Daimaru swimming club. He was recruited in 1961 to prepare the national swimming team for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.[3]
