Nanae Nagata (永田 七恵 Nagata Nanae?), born as Nanae Sasaki (佐々木 七恵 Sasaki Nanae?), (February 8, 1956 – June 27, 2009) was a Japanese long-distance runner.

She was a high school teacher in Ōfunato, Iwate when she set a Japanese record of 2:40:56 at the Boston Marathon in 1981.

She quit running as an amateur and began her professional career with the S & B Foods Inc. Athletic Club, which included among its members her coach, Kiyoshi Nakamura, and Toshihiko Seko, then one of the top marathon runners in the world.

She set a new Japanese record of 2:35:00 at the Christchurch Marathon in June 1982.

On June 29, 2009, Japanese news media reported that she died on June 27 at the age of 53 due to colorectal cancer.[1]
