長瀬 智也(ながせ ともや、1978年11月7日 - )は、日本の歌手、ギタリスト、男性アイドル、俳優、タレントであり、バンド形態のアイドルグループ、TOKIOの最年少メンバーでボーカリストでもある。所属事務所はジャニーズ事務所。所属レコード会社はジェイ・ストーム。身長185cm(事務所公式より。本人談では183cm)。血液型O型。TOKIOでの音楽活動のほか、テレビドラマ等での俳優活動も顕著である。
音楽活動
1993年に『ツインズ教師』でドラマ初出演を果たすなど、ジャニーズJr.の中で徐々に頭角を現していく。この頃から、城島茂がリーダーを務めるTOKIOに時折サポートとして参加。1994年、CDデビューを目前に控えた時期に、小島啓が突然TOKIOを脱退、ジャニーズ事務所も辞めたため、長瀬が正式なメンバーとなった。同年9月21日に、ボーカリストとして「LOVE YOU ONLY」でCDデビューを果たす。
TOKIOでは、ボーカルの他にギターやブルースハープも演奏するほか、自ら作詞と作曲・編曲を手掛けることもある。シングル曲「明日を目指して!」をはじめ、アルバムにも自作曲が収録されている。2009年2月に放映された『MTVアンプラグド』のライブでは、自作曲6曲を発表。リアレンジで「宙船」や「Knockin' On Heaven's Door」なども披露。また、2006年夏、初めてのライブハウスツアーを収録したDVD『TOKIO GIGs 2006』では、自身で監督・編集を手掛けている。
俳優活動
音楽活動と平行して俳優活動も活発に行っている。1996年『白線流し』で初主演。それ以降。『池袋ウエストゲートパーク』、『タイガー&ドラゴン』『マイ☆ボス マイ☆ヒーロー』などに主演してヒットを飛ばしほぼ毎年のように主演をしている。連ドラ主演数は17本。月9の史上最年少主演者(19歳2ヶ月)である。『タイガー&ドラゴン』では昼は落語家、夜はヤクザという2つの顔を持つ主人公を演じ、後の落語ブームのきっかけを作った。2006年の『マイ☆ボス マイ☆ヒーロー』でも高校生とヤクザという2つの顔を持つ主人公を演じ、平均視聴率18.9%、最高視聴率23.2%を記録するなど、視聴者の支持を得た。このように、シリアスからコメディまで幅が広く、特に硬派でダイナミックな演技に定評がある。
2001年の映画初出演作『ソウル』での演技により、翌2002年の第15回石原裕次郎新人賞を受賞。 テレビ番組に関する権威ある賞のひとつ・ギャラクシー賞は、番組そのものに関する賞だが、『ザ!鉄腕!DASH!!』『タイガー&ドラゴン』『歌姫』も表彰されている。
