Tao te kim[1] (Mandarinice 道德經, pinyinDàodéjīng), vel simpliciter Laozi (Mandarinice 老子, pinyinLǎozǐ), appellatus, est textus classicus Sinicus. Eruditi de vero auctore et primo compositionis vel compilationis tempore iam disputant.[2] Veterrima pars effossa saeculo quarto a.C.n. exeunte scripta est, sed litterae recentiores arguunt alias textus partes scriptas vel compilatas fuisse post primas Zhuangzi partes.[3]
