Umehara Eizō (梅原榮造; fl. c. 1883 - 1885) was a Japanese scholar and cartographer based in Sendai. Little is known about Umehara's life and work aside from the production of a map of his hometown in 1884 (titled '僊臺市街繪入明細全圖 '), but he appears to have been an educator and had some proficiency in English, publishing an introductory work on the language (英学入門) in 1885 and, the same year, a highly idiosyncratic, though completely uninfluential, book (新撰鼇頭 五体千字文) in which he laid out a system of transliteration and correspondence between English, kanji, kana, and ancient Chinese seal script.
