Tsutomu Miura (?? ???, Miura Tsutomu, 1911 - October 27, 1989) was a Japanese linguist born in Tokyo. He studied language as expression from contentism and criticized formism and functionism, like structural linguistics or the theory of generative grammar. He regarded Tokieda's theory, also known as "Gengo Katei Setsu"(Language-as-a-Process Theory), as "the world highest standard theory" and created his original language theory based on Tokieda's theory.
