Danh sách nhà văn Nhật Bản

== Nhận xét sơ bộ**
Chỉ có các nhà văn và nhà thơ Nhật Bản được đưa vào danh sách sau đây mà thôi. Thuật ngữ nhà văn, giống như thuật ngữ văn học, được hiểu theo nghĩa rộng. Tất cả các tác giả gốc Nhật hoặc chủ yếu là viết các văn bản trữ tình hoặc hư cấu bằng tiếng Nhật đều được hiểu là nhà văn. Hoặc là bất kỳ văn bản nào có thể được xếp vào một trong ba thể loại văn học cổ điển: sử thi, thơ ca hoặc kịch nghệ (điều này cũng nên bao gồm các vở kịch nói chung). Các văn bản thuộc thể loại văn bản chức năng (bao gồm cả sách phi hư cấu và chuyên luận khoa học) đều không được phân loại. Ví dụ, tiểu thuyết lịch sử là một tiêu chí để phân loại, trong khi sách phi hư cấu về lịch sử Nhật Bản thì lại không. Không có sự phân biệt giữa văn học tầm thường và văn học kinh điển cao (hoặc ở Nhật Bản là giữa văn học đại chúng hoặc văn học giải trí và văn học thuần túy).
