Stephen R. Platt is an American historian specialized in the history of modern China, with a particular focus on the 19th century and the foreign relations of the Qing dynasty. He is a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and earned his PhD in Chinese history from Yale University in 2004. His research focuses on the conflicts and transformations that marked the decline of the Chinese Empire and its interaction with Western powers.

Among his most notable works is Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom: China, the West, and the Epic Story of the Taiping Civil War (2012), which received the Cundill History Prize. In 2018, he published Imperial Twilight: The Opium War and the End of China's Last Golden Age (2024), where he analyzes the events that led to the First Opium War. This book was a finalist for the Baillie Gifford Prize.
