Koyama Fujio (小山富士夫 ; March 24, 1900-October 7, 1975) was a scholar of Japanese pottery and porcelain and Chinese ceramics. He was also a potter in his own right.

Amongst his publications are:

  • "Two Thousand Years of Oriental Ceramics" (1961).
  • "The Heritage of Japanese Ceramics" (1973), translated into English from the original publication in "Nihon Toji no Dento" in 1967

    • He developed the category of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan.

    The Idemitsu Museum of Arts in Tokyo dedicated a retrospective "Tsuchi ni Asobu, To ni Manabu" (Play With Clay, Learn From Pots) in the spring of 2000.
