Feng Dao (Chinese: 馮道; 882[1] – 21 May 954[1][2]), courtesy name Kedao (可道), also known by his Later Zhou-bestowed posthumous name Prince Wenyi of Ying (瀛文懿王), was a Chinese inventor, printer, and politician. He was a government official during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, who served, in chronological order, the Jie Yan, Later Tang, Later Jin, Liao, Later Han, and Later Zhou dynasties. He was chancellor of the Later Tang, Later Jin, and Later Zhou dynasties.
For his contribution to improving block-printing process for printing Chinese written works, scholars have compared him to the German inventor and blacksmith Johannes Gutenberg. Traditional histories praised him for his various virtues but also vilified him for not being faithful to a single dynasty but being willing to serve a number of successive dynasties (see Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang below). Feng Dao is depicted in the Wu Shuang Pu by Jin Guliang.
