沈尹默（1883年－1971年），原名君默，字中、秋明，号君墨，别号鬼谷子。中国杰出的学者、诗人、书法家。早年二度游学日本的沈老，归国后先后执教于北大、北京女子师范大学，与陈独秀、李大钊、鲁迅、胡适等同办《新青年》，为新文化运动的得力战士。陈独秀曾批评沈尹默“字则其俗在骨”，因此两人关系不佳。1925年，在“女师大风潮”中，沈老与鲁迅、钱玄同等人联名发表宣言，支持学生的正义斗争。后由蔡元培、李石曾推荐，出任河北教育厅厅长，北平大学校长等职。1932年，因不满政府遏制学生运动、开除学生，毅然辞职，南下上海，任中法文化交换出版委员会主任。抗战开始，应监察院院长于右任之邀，去重庆任监察院委员，曾弹劾孔祥熙未遂，不满政府之腐败，胜利后即辞职，卜居上海，以鬻字为生，自甘清贫，足见沈先生高风亮节。
沈尹默先生是陈毅先生进城后第一位拜访的民主人士，是第一届上海市人民政府委员，是周恩来总理任命的中央文史馆副馆长，历届上海市人委委员，全国人大代表和政协委员。1949年后，他先后参加了市政协、市博物馆、市文管会、中国画院、市文联、市文史馆的工作，亲自创建了新中国成立后第一个书法组织——上海市中国书法篆刻研究会，为祖国文化事业的繁荣，尤其对中国书法艺术和理论，作出了卓越的贡献。毛主席曾接见过他，对他的工作和艺术成就给予了高度的评价。《中南海收藏书画集》的第一页乃是沈老写给主席的书法。总理家中和办公室都曾挂过沈老的字。著有《二王法书管窥》、《历代名家学书经验谈辑妻释义》等。出版主要书法集、字帖有《沈尹默法书集》、《沈尹默手书词稿四种》、《沈尹默入蜀词墨迹》等，约二十种。诗词著作有《秋明室杂诗》、《秋明室长短句》等。
“五四”运动时期，沈尹默作为北大名教授，和鲁迅、陈独秀等人并肩战斗，轮流主编《新青年》杂志，并在《新青年》等杂志上发表了如《月夜》、《三弦》等著名的白话诗篇，是中国新诗的最早倡导者之一。沈尹默先生在书法方面的贡献尤为突出，甚至盖过了他的诗名。他和于右任是近现代中国书法史上最具影响力的一代书宗，分别代表帖学和碑学的两座高峰。他的书法主要取法二王、米芾等帖学大师，掺以北碑墓志的影响，精于用笔，清健秀润，自成一家，深受群众喜爱。晚年的沈尹默，侧重书法理论的研究和书法艺术的普及教育。著有《二王法书管窥》、《历代名家学术经验谈辑要释义》等多种理论著作和法帖。其学生谢稚柳、胡问遂、翁闿运等都是很有影响的书法家。1971年6月1日，备受"文革"迫害的一代书法大师沈尹默，病逝于上海，享年88岁。

民国初年，书坛就有“南沈北于（右任）”之称。著名文学家徐平羽先生，谓沈老之书法艺术成就，“超越元、明、清，直入宋四家而无愧。”已故全国文物鉴定小组组长谢稚柳教授，认为：“数百年来，书家林立，盖无人出其右者。”已故台北师大教授，国文研究所所长林尹先生赞沈老书法“米元章以下”。台湾大学教授傅申先生在《民初帖学书家沈尹默》一文中，有“楷书中我认为适合他书写的，还是细笔的楮楷，真是清隽秀朗，风度翩翩，在赵孟兆页后，难得一睹。”已故浙江美院陆维钊教授评沈老书法时，云：“沈书之境界、趣味、笔法，写到宋代，一般人只能上追清代，写到明代，已为数不多。”
沈先生的书法理论著作，则多发表于1949年以后，1952年的《谈书法》，1955年的《书法漫谈》，1957年的《书法论》和《文学改革与书法兴废问题》，1958年的《学书丛话》，1960年的《答人问书法》，1961年的《和青年朋友们谈书法》以及《和青年朋友们再谈书法》，1962年的《谈中国书法》和《怎样练好使用毛笔字》，1963年的《历代名家学书经验谈辑要释义--上》，1964年的《书法艺术的时代精神》和《二王法书管窥》，1965年的《历代名家学书经验谈辑要释义--中》，1978年的《书法论丛》，1981年的《沈尹默论书丛稿》。沈老书法作品广泛流传于海内外，深得人民的喜爱。特别是1981年出版的《沈尹默书法集》，比较全面地收集了他二十岁以后的各个时期的代表作，反映了他书法嬗变的全过程。1999年的《沈尹默手稿墨迹》则为他的草稿书扎精品四十余件，以行草为主。近年来故居在海峡二岸收集到沈老书墓志铭八种，从1921年到1960年，横跨四十年，可以看到沈老楷书从北碑、唐晋风味演变到自成独特风格的过程。乃为研究沈氏碑帖及学书者临摹之范本。其中一种为沈老在1921年为蒋（中正先生）母王太夫人书墓志（现陈列于台北中正纪念堂）。孙中山先生为蒋母写祭文并书“蒋母之墓”四个大字。此帖碑即将付印。

桂林著名风景区“叠彩山”三个楷书，是1964年沈尹默先生所题书，笔势峻迈，饶有气势。沈老是近代著名书法家，中国历代书法家自清代末叶何绍基后，收入《辞海》者尚有沈尹默一人。沈尹默“五四”时，提倡新诗，旧诗词功力亦深。
1906年夏天，沈尹默从日本留学归国，回到故里浙江湖州后，就开始作诗练字，并为商界书写店号，他的书艺已为人们所喜爱。第二年，沈尹默受聘到杭州浙江高等师范学校教书，当时才25岁。沈尹默在杭州时，结识著名青年诗人刘季平，两人诗词往来，关系十分密切。
重阳佳节，刘季平邀沈尹默喝酒论诗，沈尹默乘醉即席赋诗《题季平黄叶楼》：“眼中黄落尽雕年，独上高楼海气寒。从古诗人爱秋色，斜阳鸦影一凭栏。”刘季平非常赞赏，请沈尹默用宣纸书写后，贴在书房里。刘季平说：“诗中‘从古诗人爱秋色’之句，正合我意。写景以抒胸怀。”几天之后，陈独秀外出归来，去看望诗友刘季平，他见书房墙上新贴的书法和诗，便打听沈尹默的住所。陈独秀求友心切，专门走访沈尹默，他自我介绍说：“我叫陈仲甫（陈独秀原名），在刘季平家看到你写的书法和《题黄叶楼》的诗，诗做得很高雅，我很欣赏，就是这张字，写得俗气了。”
陈独秀和沈尹默系初次见面，未作寒暄，就坦率地提出了看法。沈尹默第一次听到这些意见，开始感到很难堪，脸色很不自然，但细细一想，觉得自己所写的字，确是笔法软弱，不见骨气，认为陈独秀很有眼力，是难得的新朋友，应该努力改进。从此以后，沈尹默发奋钻研书法，从学褚遂良法贴开始，接着，遍习晋唐以及北宋苏米各名家，他更崇尚晋代二王的字，每天细心临摹，注重笔法，每每作出一笔，常常屏气练习，十分认真，终于打下了坚实的基础。
1913年的春天，沈尹默受北京大学代理校长何时之聘，到北大任教。他开始是教《诗经》和历史的，课余时间，仍不忘学书法，每逢假日就去故宫观摹唐宋以来的名家真迹，心领手记，深得神丰意趣之妙。过去“北京大学”四字，清丽秀润，劲健遒逸，人们称为“元宝字”，乃出于沈尹默的手笔。

《东坡居士诗》
  沈尹默的书法主要取法二王、米芾等帖学大师，且对唐代欧、褚、虞、颜诸家，以至北魏、汉碑等都有较深的研习，精于用笔，清健秀润，自成一家。其行书《东坡居士诗》四条屏，乃其艺术人生的巅峰之作。信手疾书，行笔从容，虽分四屏，却一气呵成。忘情笔墨间，点画精致，随心舞动，却驰不失范。通篇结体严谨，气韵紧密连缀，婉转流畅。据其从容、深厚的书法功力，以及所书内容来看，《东坡居士诗》应作于我国三年经济萧条期的1961年前后，看似书作东坡之词，实乃暗喻笔者之心境。
