伶伦，亦作泠伦，相传为黄帝时代的乐官，音律的创作者。中国古典音乐自其作〈咸池〉使有专用乐名。

《吕氏春秋》古乐：「昔黄帝令伶伦作为律。伶伦自大夏之西，乃之阮隃之阴，取竹于嶰谿之谷，以生空窍厚钧者、断两节间、其长三寸九分而吹之，以为黄钟之宫，吹曰『舍少』。次制十二筒，以之阮隃之下，听凤皇之鸣，以别十二律。其雄鸣为六，雌鸣亦六，以比黄钟之宫，适合。黄钟之宫，皆可以生之，故曰黄钟之宫，律吕之本。黄帝又命伶伦与荣将铸十二钟，以和五音，以施英韶，以仲春之月，乙卯之日，日在奎，始奏之，命之曰咸池。」

Ling Lun (Chinese:伶倫 or 泠倫) is the legendary founder of music in ancient China. In Chinese mythology, as described in the Lüshi Chunqiu (in Chinese:吕氏春秋), he was said to have created bamboo flutes which made the sounds of many birds, including the mythical phoenix. "In this way, he invented the five notes of the ancient Chinese five-tone scale (gong, shang, jiao, ahi', and yu) which is equivalent to 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 in numbered musical notation (do, re, mi, so, and la in western solfeggio) and the eight sounds made by eight musical instruments. The "Yellow Emperor" (Huangdi) is said to have ordered the casting of bells in tune with those flutes.
