List of Nippon Professional Baseball players with 1,000 runs batted in

The following is a list of Nippon Professional Baseball players who have reached the 1,000 run batted in (RBI) milestone. RBIs are usually accumulated in baseball by successfully allowing a runner on base to score as a result of making contact at-bat, although a batter is credited with an RBI if a run scores as a result of his reaching first base with the bases loaded as a result of either a base on balls (walk) or being hit by a pitch.

Sadaharu Oh holds the Nippon Professional Baseball RBI career record with 2,170.
