Tan Taigi (Japanese: 炭太祇; 1709–1771) was a Japanese haiku poet and traveler. Taigi, along with Yosa Buson, headed the Bashō revival and helped revitalize haiku in eighteenth century Japan.[1]

He was born in Edo, present day Tokyo.

He lived in Shimabara, Nagasaki in his later years.

A collection of his poems called Taigi Kusen (Selected Poems of Taigi) (太祇句選) was published in 1770. A further collection (Taigi Kusen Kōhen) was published in 1777.[2]

An English translation of a selection of his poems was published in 2023 by Peach Blossoms Press.[3]
