Shinji Aramaki (荒牧 伸志, Aramaki Shinji), born 2 October 1960, is a renowned Japanese anime director and mechanical designer hailing from Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Educated at the Fukuoka Prefectural Fukuoka High School and Okayama University, Shinji is a driving force in the field of 3DCG animation in Japan.

Despite not having an initial desire to join the animation industry, he was drawn to it owing to his artistic capabilities and the diverse opportunities the industry presented.
