Hoax paleolitik Jepang (旧石器捏造事件, Kyū Sekki Netsuzō Jiken) merupakan skandal yang menimpa pakar arkeologi Jepang, Shinichi Fujimura. Ia tertangkap basah oleh bidikan kamera video ketika sedang memalsukan temuan-temuan peninggalan paleolitik nenek moyang orang Jepang. Ia kepergok sedang mengubur benda-benda palsu itu di lubang-lubang yang ia gali sendiri.
