{{japanese name|Ō}}{{Nihongo|Ō no Yasumaro|太 安万侶||died August 15, 723}} was a Japanese nobleman, bureaucrat, and chronicler. He may have been the son of {{Nihongo|Ō no Honji|多 品治|}}, a participant in the Jinshin War of 672.[1]

He is most famous for compiling and editing, with the assistance of Hieda no Are, the Kojiki, the oldest extant Japanese history. Empress Genmei (r. 707-721) charged Yasumaro with the duty of writing the Kojiki in 711 using the differing clan chronicles and native myths. It was finished the following year in 712.[2] {{page needed|date=September 2012}}

Yasumaro most probably also played an active role in compiling the Nihon Shoki, which was finished in 720.[2][3]

Yasumaro became clan head in 716, and died in 723.[1]
