Yuji Nishida (西田 有志, Nishida Yūji, born 30 January 2000) is a Japanese male volleyball player.

Nishida currently plays for JTEKT Stings, a volleyball club based in Kariya, Aichi, Japan. He made his debut with JTEKT Stings at V.League (Japan) on 6 January 2018 in a match against Osaka Blazers Sakai. His impressive debut at the young age of 17 soon earned him a position in JTEKT's Starting 6 [1] as well as Japan men's national volleyball team.

He is one of the youngest players in the 2018 roster of the Japan men's national volleyball team and FIVB cup Final.[2] He made his first international performance with the Japanese national team in 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's Nations League. In June 2018, he played a pivotal role in securing Japan's first win in 11 years against Italy where he collected 24 points from 21 spikes and 3 aces.[3] In September 2018, in a match against Argentina in 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship, Nishida became the youngest player ever to score 30 points in a match.[4] In June 2019, Nishida broke serving records in the VNL history after hitting 7 aces in a single game during a match against Bulgaria.

Not satisfied with his first top-four finish in 28 years, Nishida went on to lead his team to their first V-League title. The first game of the regular round against these champions is the last home game of the first leg (November 23). A huge cheering section from JTEKT's headquarters rushed to the venue, which was packed to capacity, but JTEKT Stings lost to Panasonic Panthers in straight sets, 0-3. The ace Nishida also scored 30 points. In the 3rd match on Feb 8, with an eye on the final stage, they showed their strength in the blocks and won in straight sets. After winning the first-place match, Panasonic Panthers also won the next day's match to finish first in the regular round. JTEKT Stings, on the other hand, finished second and advanced to the finals. JTEKT had beaten Suntory, who had advanced to that point, and now faced the final match with Panasonic Panthers. That match was decided to be a non-spectator due to the spread of the new Coronavirus infection. At one point, there was news that the game would be canceled, but if that had happened, according to the league's rules, the winner would have been Panasonic Panthers, which had been ranked higher in the regular round.

Finally on February 29th the match took place. The championship has been out of reach since the team was founded. Nishida, who greatly contributed to the achievement of this long-cherished dream, won the titles of "High scorer" and "Serve Effectiveness Rate," which were fixed at the end of the regular round, as well as MVP.[15]
