He Tianzhang SJ (Chinese: 何天章, 1667 – 11 May 1736), also known as Francisco Xavier do Rosário,[a] was a Jesuit missionary in Qing China. He mostly worked in Shanxi, where he contended against the restrictions on Chinese Rites. Banished to Guangzhou in 1724, he returned to Shanxi in 1727, was suspended from his activities in 1732 for his tolerance over the Chinese Rites, and died in 1736 in Beijing.
