Sun Yirang (Chinese: 孫詒讓) (1848 - 1908) was a Chinese philologist. A native of Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, he retired from official employment early in his life to devote himself to scholarship. His most important work is Mozi Jiangu (墨子間詁), still the definitive edition of Mozi. He also contributed to the studies of the bronzeware script and oracle script. His work Qiwen Juli (契文舉例), published posthumously by Luo Zhenyu, was the first work of decipherment of the oracle bone script.
