Wang Jingzhai (traditional Chinese: 王靜齋; simplified Chinese: 王静斋; pinyin: Wáng Jìngzhāi; 1879 - 1949) was a well-known Muslim scholar during the Republic of China period. He was the first or possibly second person to translate the entire Qur'an into Chinese, with the exact time attributed to either 1927 or 1932. He began to translate the entire holy book due to a request from the son of female Chinese Muslim scholar Ding Yunhui. Yunhui had written the Omudai, a partial translation of the Qur'an which omitted any references to Islamic sexual jurisprudence due to the prevailing sensitivities in women's mosques in China at the time.
