Saburo Aizawa (Japanese: 相沢 三郎 - Aizawa Saburō) (September 6, 1889 – July 3, 1936) was a Japanese soldier. He was born in Iwate Prefecture.

He reached the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He assassinated Tetsuzan Nagata with his sword in August 12, 1935, because he was reputedly putting the Army "in the paws of high finance". After a high-profile trial, he was executed by a firing squad.
