Emperor Suzaku (朱雀天皇 Suzaku Tennō) (923-952) was the 61st imperial ruler of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He ruled from 930 to 946.

He was a son of Emperor Daigo and Empress Consort Onshi, a daughter of Fujiwara no Mototsune. During his reign Taira no Masakado staged a rebellion in the Kantō region and denominated himself the new emperor, but the rebellion was eventually put down.

He was succeeded by his younger brother, Emperor Murakami.
