Tawada Shinjun was an Okinawan scholar of botany and archaeology.

Born in [[Shuri]] Sakiyama-chô, he graduated from Okinawa Daiichi (First) Middle School and then from Okinawa Normal College (''shihan daigaku''). He worked for a time as a teacher at Shuri High School and elsewhere before becoming head of the (postwar Occupation era) Government of the Ryukyus' forestry experimentation center, as well as a member of the cultural protections committee.

Tawada researched Okinawan herbal medicines, among other topics, and became known as a pioneer in the field of Okinawan archaeology.
