Junko Furuta (古田 順子 Furuta Junko) was a Japanese high-school student who was abducted, tortured,raped, and murdered in the late 1980s.

Her murder case was named "Concrete-encased high school girl murder case", due to her body being discovered in a concrete drum.

The abuse was mainly perpetrated by four teenage boys, Hiroshi Miyano, Jō Ogura, Shinji Minato, and Yasushi Watanabe.

Furuta was born in Misato, Saitama Prefecture. As a teenager, she attended Yashio-Minami High School and worked part-time during after-school hours.

She lived with her parents, her elder brother, and her younger brother.

Prior to her abduction, she had accepted a job at an electronics retailer, where she planned on working after graduation.
