Ryo Horikawa (堀川 りょう, Horikawa Ryou) is a veteran voice actor born on February 1, 1958 in Osaka, Japan. He is married to fellow voice actress Oikawa Hitomi, whose natal name is also Horikawa.

He is the current representative director of talent agency Aslead Company. Horikawa started out as a child actor in elementary school. He made his debut in voice acting as the protagonist of the 1984 anime Yume Senshi Wingman.
