Hōbundō (寶文堂; fl. c. 1714 – 1727) was an Osaka-based published of illustrated works. Its most notable publication was the encyclopedia Enlightening Illustrations of China (唐土訓蒙圖彙). In the second half of the 18th century, there was a publisher in Osaka called Ōnoki hōbundō (大野木寶文堂) which may have been a continuation of the earlier publisher.
