Sachiko Murata is a professor of religion and Asian studies at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She received her B.A. from Chiba University in Chiba, Japan, and later attended Iran's Tehran University where she was the first woman ever to study fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) at that school. She received her Master's degree in Persian literature, but shortly before completing her Ph.D., the Iranian Revolution caused her and her husband William Chittick to leave the country.

Murata resettled at SUNY Stony Brook in Stony Brook, New York, where she teaches Islam, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. She is the author of several books including The Tao of Islam, Chinese Gleams of Sufi Light, The Vision of Islam (which she co-authored with her husband) and Temporary Marriage in Islamic Law. She has also translated Shaykh Hasan's Ma’alem al-Osul into Japanese and has published many academic articles.
