Tani Bunchō (谷文晁)(1763-1840) was a Japanese literati (bunjin) painter and poet.

Like most bunjinga painters of his time, Bunchō focused largely on Chinese-inspired landscapes. Since travel outside Japan was forbidden under the Tokugawa shogunate, Bunchō was unable to study in China; he spent many years in Nagasaki, therefore, studying Chinese art and Western art (洋画, Yōga) with the traders there.

Watanabe Kazan and Takaku Aigai were among his disciples.
