List of Protestant missionaries in China
Beginning in 1807, with the arrival of Robert Morrison of the London Missionary Society and ending in 1953 with the departure of Arthur Matthews and Dr. Rupert Clark of the China Inland Mission, thousands of foreign Protestant missionaries, often along with married partners and dependent children, lived and worked in China to spread the Christian Gospel, establish schools and work as medical missionaries.
The following is a list by agency of such missionaries who were of particular historical note.

The Hundred were deployed by the China Inland Mission in response to a call for workers issued in 1886. All of the 100 candidates had been sent to China by 1887. This was further catapulted the mission into the public spotlight and dramatically increased the size of the entire Protestant missionary enterprise in China in the 1800s. Also noteworthy was the fact that over half were single women.
