Duan Chengshi (段成式 Duàn Chéngshì|w=
Tuan Ch'eng-shih) (died 863) was a Chinese poet and writer of the
Tang Dynasty. He was born to a wealthy family in present-day Zibo, Shandong. A descendant of the early Tang official Duan Zhixuan (段志玄,
Duàn Zhìxuán) (-642), and the son of Duan Wenchang (段文昌,
Duàn Wénchāng), a high official under
Tang Xuanzong, his family background enabled him to obtain office without taking the Imperial exams. As a poet, he was associated with
Li Shangyin and
Wen Tingyun.
Duan is best known outside of China for being the author of an early version of Cinderella, called Ye Xian. In 853, the story first appeared in Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang, which was published shortly after he returned to Chang'an after his term of acting Governor of Jizhou (now known as Ji'an in Jiangsu). It is believed that it was a folktale told by peasants before it was recorded on paper. Some people even believe that the French author Charles Perrault copied Duan's version, only he renamed it and slightly altered it.
Duan is also known for describing in his written work of 863 AD the slave trade, ivory trade, and ambergris trade of Bobali, which believed to be what is now Berbera in Somaliland, East Africa.

段成式是晚唐著名詩人,褒國公段志玄之裔孫。其父段文昌在唐憲宗朝曾出任宰相。段成式憑著父親的關係,沒有經過科舉就進秘書省當了校書郎。唐文宗開成初年,任職集賢殿。歷官吉州、處州、江州刺史,至太常少卿。據《舊唐書》的記載,段成式生性散淡,「博學強記,多奇篇秘籍」,喜歡讀書多于仕途政治。
