Sima Zhen (simplified Chinese: 司马贞; traditional Chinese: 司馬貞; pinyin: Sīmǎ Zhēn; Wade-Giles: Szuma Chen, fl. 8th century), courtesy name Zizheng (子正), was a Chinese historian born in what is now Jiaozuo, Henan during the Tang Dynasty.
Sima Zhen was one of the most important commentators on the Shiji.[1] His commentary is known as the Shiji Suoyin (史記索隱), which means "Seeking the Obscure in the Grand Scribe's Records".[2]
