史記 (Shǐjì), titulo pleniori 太史公書 (Tàishǐgōng shū), scilicet "Opus chronographicum", est opus praecipuum auctoris Sima Qian, qui saeculo I a.C.n. ineunte floruit. Est historia generalis Sinarum in qua, modo jizhuanti, annales rerum gestarum cum vitis hominum principalium collocantur; loco primo enumeratur in serie historiarum dynasticarum viginti quattuor, quamquam res gestas non domus Han tantum sed etiam domorum regnantium priorum comprehendit.
