Pan Wuyun (Chinese: 潘悟云; pinyin: Pān Wùyún, born March 1943) is a leading Chinese linguist and specialist in historical Chinese phonology.
Pan was born in Rui'an, Zhejiang in 1943. After graduating from high school, he was unable to attend college because of his family background and worked as a labourer in several Wenzhou factories. After the end of the Cultural Revolution, he tested into the graduate program of Fudan University in 1979, and earned his master's degree in Chinese language in 1982. He subsequently taught at Wenzhou Normal College before becoming a professor at Shanghai Normal University. He also taught as a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Oslo, the City University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the National Tsing Hua University.
The strong point of Pan's research and teaching is the historical phonology of Old Chinese, Middle Chinese, and Chinese dialectology.
