Édouard Chavannes (1865 - 1918) was a French sinologists.

He is best known for his translation of Sima Qian's Shiji (Les Mémoires historiques de Se-ma Ts'ien, 5 vol., 1895-1905) , his studies of Han dynasty stone carvings (La sculpture sur pierre en Chine au temps des deux dynasties Han, 1893), and for his studies of Chinese religion (Le T'ai chan: essai de monographie d'un culte chinois: appendice Le dieu du sol dans la Chine antique, 1910). The last work, a study of the worship of Mount Tai in ancient China, is a ground-breaking work of modern sinology for its combination of textual analysis and fieldwork. His students included Paul Pelliot and Marcel Granet.
