Noriko Inada (稲田 法子, Inada Noriko) (born 27 July 1978 in Sōka, Saitama, Japan) is a Japanese swimmer who competed in the 1992, 2000, and 2004 Summer Olympics.
Inada retired after the 2004 Summer Olympics, though she joined the Phoenix Swim Club in 2008 and attempted to make a professional comeback in April 2010. In April 2012, she placed 3rd in the 100m backstroke in the Japan Championship, just missing out on a top 2 spot required for attending the 2012 Summer Olympics. 2014 saw her break three world records in the 35-39 age group at the 2014 FINA World Masters Championships. In 2015, she won the Japan Championship in the 50m backstroke time with a time of 28.36s, and placed second in the 100m backstroke with a time of 1m 1.27s. In 2017, she is still with the Phoenix Swim Club, as an assistant coach.
