Umemura Yoko, born Suzuki Hanako (鈴木花子) in Nihonbashi Kakegawa, Tokyo, Japan, was a Japanese actress. She made her stage debut in 1910 at the Hongoza Theatre (本郷座) while in elementary school.

In 1922, she joined the Shochiku Kamata Studio (松竹蒲田撮影所) and debuted in film in 1923 with Chirinishi Hana (散りにし花). After the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, which halted production at the studio, she was transferred to the Shochiku Shimogamo Studio (松竹下加茂撮影所) in Kyoto. She briefly returned to Kamata in 1924 before moving to the Nikkatsu Kyoto Studio (日活京都撮影所) in 1925.

After a dispute with Nikkatsu in 1935, Umemura became a freelance actress. She helped establish Daichi Eiga (第一映画) that year, which later dissolved when Nagata Masaichi (永田雅一) joined Shin-Ko Eiga (新興キネマ) in 1936. She then moved to Shin-Ko and, after its merger into Daiei (大映) in 1942, joined the Daiei Kyoto Studio (大映京都撮影所).

Umemura passed away on March 8, 1944, at the age of 40, following acute appendicitis and peritonitis during location shooting for Danjuro Sandai (団十郎三代) in Tanba.
