Wang Yuan (simplified Chinese: 王渊; traditional Chinese: 王淵; pinyin: Wáng Yuān; Wade–Giles: Wang Yüan); was a Chinese landscape painter during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368). His specific dates of birth and death are not known.

Wang was born in Qian Tang[1] (钱塘, modern day Hangzhou in the Zhejiang province).[2] His style name was 'Ruoshui' (若水) and his pseudonym was 'Danxuan' (澹轩). Wang imitated Guo Xi for landscapes, Huang Quan for bird-and-flower paintings, and Tang Ren for human figures. He trained under Zhao Mengfu with most of his works dating around 1340.[3] He utilized a minute and brilliant style in all his works.
