Chang Shuhong (Chinese: 常書鴻, 6 April 1904 - 23 June 1994) was a Chinese painter.

Born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Chang and his wife went to France in 1927. In 1937, he returned to teach at the National Art School. In 1943, he moved his family to remote Dunhuang to pursue his long-cherished art of Mogao Caves. From then on, he started his 40 years’ hard life and artistic creation of Dunhuang, and became renowned as the “Guardian of Dunhuang Caves”.
