Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki (1870 - 1966) was a Japanese philosopher, recognized as one of the promoters of Zen in the West. His birth name was Teitarō (貞太郎?) and his Buddhist name as a monk was Daisetsu, but internationally he was known by both names together, as well as D. T. Suzuki or Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki.

He was one of the pillars that prepared the ground for other Ch'an and Zen masters to become known later. With his numerous books and essays on Buddhism, Zen, and Shin, he fostered Western interest in Zen and Shin spirituality. He was also a great translator of Chinese, Japanese, and Sanskrit literature. Although his birthplace has long ceased to exist, a monument marks its location. His Buddhist name "Daisetsu," meaning "Great Simplicity," was given to him by his Zen master Soyen Shaku.
