Deng Tuo ({{zh|s=邓拓|p=Dènɡ Tuò}}; c. 1911 – 17 May 1966), also known by the pen name Ma Nancun ({{zh|s=马南邨|p=Mǎ Náncūn}}), was a Chinese poet, intellectual and journalist. He became a cadre of the Chinese Communist Party and served as editor-in-chief of the People's Daily from 1948 to 1958. He committed suicide in 1966 following scathing criticism in the People's Daily, as the Cultural Revolution was beginning.{{Cite book |last=Cheek |first=Timothy |title=Propaganda and Culture in Mao's China |date=1997-12-18 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-829066-7 |doi=10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198290667.001.0001}}{{Rp|pages=27, 283}}
