Azuki Yagi (Japanese: 八木 愛月, Hepburn: Yagi Azuki; born March 22, 2005) is a Japanese singer. She has been a member of girl group AKB48 since 2023 and has been the lead performer for the single "Masaka no Confession" (2024).

Yagi's parents have both been AKB48 fans, with her father being a Mariko Shinoda fan and her mother and herself of Yuko Oshima. She was the first AKB48 trainee to become the center (lead performer) for a single. She, Airi Satō, and Momoka Itō have been called the "ace trio" and "new era leaders" of AKB48 and are together referred to as the Seigekka (星月花; lit. 'star, moon, flower'), after the last kanji characters of their names.
