The Satsunan school is a school of Neo-Confucianist thought which had a strong impact on the distinctive culture of Satsuma han, and of modern Japan.

The school's beginnings are traced to 1478, when lord of Satsuma Shimazu Tadamasa invited the Japanese scholar Keian Genju to teach Zhu Xi-style Neo-Confucianism in Satsuma.
