Ito Yuhan (伊藤 雄半, 1882-1951) was a Japanese landscape artist who made woodblock prints.
He studied at the Kyoto Prefecture School of Painting and at Harada Naojirō's Shobikan art school in Tokyo.
He was associated with the Shin-hanga movement and created a series of prints in the 1930s for publisher Yosaku Nishinomiya. A distinctive character of his work was that he did not use a key block, so the images he created lacked the clear black outlines common in the work of other shin-hanga artists. Rather, he created sort-edged forms that had similar qualities to a watercolour.
