Wole Soyinka (Abeokuta, 13. srpnja 1934.), nigerijski književnik.

Nakon pripremnih studija 1954. na Državnom sveučilištu u Ibadanu, nastavio je na Sveučilištu u Leedsu, gdje je kasnije, 1973. godine i doktorirao.

Na Soyinku kao dramatičara najviše je utjecao irski pisac J. M. Synge, ali i tradicionalno afričko narodno kazalište s kombinacijom plesa, glazbe i pokreta. U svojim dramama i romanima često je povezivao mitologiju vlastitog plemena, Yoruba, sa svakidašnjim temama. Nekoliko puta je bio zatvaran, a većina njegovih djela bila su zabranjivana u Nigeriji.

Godine 1986. dobio je Nobelovu nagradu za književnost.
