Ryoko Shiraishi (白石 涼子, Shiraishi Ryōko; born September 7, 1982) is a Japanese voice actress and singer from Kashiba, Nara. She is affiliated with Aoni Production. Possessing a husky voice, Shiraishi voices young to teenage men as well as young girls and teenage women.

However, in a break from tradition, one of her most famous roles is the brash and hot-headed Asuka Kazama, who is noted for speaking with a strong Osaka accent, which is one of Shiraishi's specialist skills. She was also formerly a member of the voice acting unit Drops, along with Ai Nonaka, Akemi Kanda, Tomoko Kaneda, and Mariko Kōda. Shiraishi is also very active in voice dubbing foreign dramas and movies.

In particular, she is exclusively in charge of covering Miley Cyrus' roles. Many of her dubbing works are closely relative to the Disney Channel. Shiraishi married on September 6, 2012, but divorced in 2013.
