Wang Yangming (王陽明 1472-1529) was a Ming Chinese idealist Neo-Confucian scholar-official.

Born Wang Shouren (守仁) in Zhejiang Province, his courtesy name was Bo'an (伯安). Yangming Xiansheng (Master Brilliantly Yang) was his sobriquet in the literary circle.

Yangmingshan, a national scenic attraction on Taiwan, is named after him.
