Ryûkaku danki (lit. "record of conversations with Ryukyuan guests") is an account of various aspects of China, published in 1797. It was written by Akazaki Kaimon, a Confucian scholar of Satsuma han, based on conversations he had with members of a Ryukyuan embassy to Edo.

The published volume included an afterword by Shibano Ritsuzan, a scholar of the Shôhei school.
