Mogami is a Japanese manufacturer of professional audio cables, founded in 1957 by Tetsu Sato in Tokyo. The company takes its name from the Mogami River in Yamagata Prefecture, Sato's home region. All Mogami cables are manufactured at the company's factory in Nagano, Japan, under the supervision of president Koichi Hirabayashi, whose father Naoichi Hirabayashi helped grow the business in its early years. Mogami operates in the US as a division of Marshall Electronics, based in Torrance, California.

Mogami is best known for developing Neglex, a proprietary cable technology that significantly reduces noise and electromagnetic interference. The Neglex quad microphone cable (W2534) is a staple in professional recording studios worldwide, offering 10–20 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio over conventional twisted-pair designs. The company's product range spans instrument cables, microphone cables, patch cables, snake cables, and bulk wire, organized into tiers including Overdrive, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and CorePlus lines.

Mogami cables are a fixture in major recording studios and touring rigs. Artists and professionals who use Mogami include Slash, Peter Frampton, Dave Mustaine, Imagine Dragons, Muse, George Clinton, Crosby Stills & Nash, The National, Richie Kotzen, Mark Morton of Lamb of God, and Jonathan Davis of Korn, along with front-of-house engineers for acts like AC/DC and Billy Joel.
