James Legge – szkocki misjonarz, sinolog, tłumacz klasycznych dzieł filozofii i religii chińskiej, pierwszy profesor sinologii na Oxford University. Jeden z najwybitniejszych, jeśli nie najwybitniejszy sinolog dziewiętnastowieczny, którego monumentalne dzieło – tłumaczenie większości najważniejszych dzieł starożytnej myśli chińskiej, położyło podwaliny pod zrozumienie kultury Chin przez Europejczyków i pod sinologię jako dziedzinę nauki.
