黄遵宪（1848年4月27日－1905年3月28日），字公度，别号人境庐主人，生于广东嘉应州。晚清诗人，外交家、政治家、教育家。

黄遵宪在1848年4月27日生于广东嘉应州（今梅州市梅县区东区下市角），四岁读书，十岁学诗。1876年中举人。

1877年随何如璋东渡出使日本，在任期间，积极就琉球问题同日本交涉。后又前往美国、英国、新加坡等地任外交官。驻外期间，他留心观察所在国的事物，认为中国要革新自强，必须傚法日本维新变法。撰写《日本国志》，全书共四十卷，五十余万字，详细论述日本变革的经过及其得失，借以提出中国改革的主张。1882年春天，调任驻美国旧金山总领事。当时美国借故逮捕大批华侨入狱，黄遵宪到监狱探望华侨，叫随从丈量监狱。美官员无词以对，只得释放华侨。1894年回国。

Huang Zunxian (simplified Chinese:黄遵宪; traditional Chinese:黃遵憲; pinyin:Huáng Zūnxiàn; Wade–Giles:Huang Tsun-hsien, May 29, 1848 –March 28, 1905), courtesy name Gongdu (公度), was a Chinese official, scholar, and writer, active during the late Qing dynasty. As a poet, he published more than a hundred poems. He was born in Jiayingzhou, now Mei County, Guangdong, and died 57 years later in the same place. His game-changing contributions to China made him a recognised figure of his time, and a namesake foundation has been established in his honour. Huang's former residence is now marked as a public museum.
