Fabrizio Pregadio (born January 14th, 1957) is a translator of Chinese language texts into English related to Taoism and Neidan (Internal Alchemy). He is currently an associate researcher at the International Consortium for Research in the Humanities, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.[1]

Pregadio has taught at the University of Venice (1996-97), the Technical University of Berlin (1998-2001), Stanford University (2001-08), and McGill University in Montreal (2009-10). His work deals with the self-cultivation traditions of Taoism, their doctrinal foundations in early Taoist works, and their relation to Chinese traditional sciences, including cosmology, alchemy, and medicine. He is the author of Great Clarity: Daoism and Alchemy in Early Medieval China (Stanford University Press, 2006) [2] and the editor of The Encyclopedia of Taoism (Routledge, 2008).[3]

His translations of Taoist texts include the Wuzhen pian (Awakening to Reality, 2009),[4] the Cantong qi (The Seal of the Unity of the Three, 2011 and 2012),[5] the Ruyao jing (Mirror for Compounding the Medicine, 2013),[6] and a work by the Taoist master Liu Yiming (Cultivating the Tao, 2013),[7] all published by Golden Elixir Press.
