Eisai (明菴栄西, Myōan Eisai) ou Maître zen Eisai (栄西禅師, Eisai Zenji, 27 mai 1141 - 1er août 1215) est le fondateur de l’école rinzai au Japon. En 1191, il introduisit cette doctrine au Japon, à la suite de son voyage en Chine de 1187 à 1191, au cours duquel il a été initié zen rinzaï par le maître Hsü an. C'est aussi lui qui aurait popularisé le thé au Japon, à la suite de ce même voyage.
