Ink wash painting, also known as literati painting (/ˌlɪtəˈrɑːti/), is an East Asian type of brush painting of Chinese origin that uses black ink—the same as used in East Asian calligraphy—in various concentrations. For centuries, this form of Chinese art was practiced by highly educated scholar gentlemen or literati.

Names used in the cultures concerned include: in Chinese shuimohua (水墨畫), in Japanese sumi-e (墨絵) or suibokuga (水墨画), Vietnamese: Tranh thuỷ mặc, and in Korean sumukhwa (수묵화)
