Orii Hyōjirō (折居 彪二郎) (15 July 1883 – 27 April 1970) was a Japanese specimen collector of birds and mammals. At least a hundred new species and subspecies were described based on the type specimens he collected, a 2014 review putting the total, among taxa currently recognized, at 14 species and 41 subspecies of mammal, and 6 species and 68 subspecies of bird. The 7 mammal and 10 bird taxa named in honour of "Orii of the Orient" (Japanese: 東洋のオリイ), as he came to be known, include the Ryūkyū shrew (Crocidura orii) and now-extinct Daitō varied tit (Sittiparus varius orii).
