Toshihiko Sahashi (佐橋 俊彦 Sahashi Toshihiko?, born November 12, 1959 in Tokyo, Japan) is an accomplished Japanese composer. He graduated from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1986. Sahashi has composed music for various anime series (including OVAs, movies, and drama CDs), video games, movies, dramas, and musicals. His song "You and I, Unfulfilled Feelings" is often used on the American comedy-drama Scrubs.

His works include the original soundtracks for Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny, Gunslinger Girl, Black Blood Brothers, Kamen Rider Kuuga, Kamen Rider Agito, Kamen Rider Hibiki, Kamen Rider Den-O, Full Metal Panic!, Hunter X Hunter, Simoun and Hitman Reborn! Together with the London Symphony Orchestra, two symphonic albums have been released, each arranging his compositions from Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny

The style of his composition is richly symphonic and classical (occasionally jazz). The use of sophisticated compositional techniques, as well as complicated harmony writing such as fugue can be often heard in his work, demonstrating his solid training in the western classical music. He also uses keyboard instruments to deliver more sentimental soundtracks to a good effect.
