Zahariy Stoyanov (Bulgarian: Захарий Стоянов; archaic: Захарий Стоянов) (1850 – 2 September 1889), born Dzhendo Stoyanov Dzhedev (Bulgarian: Джендо Стоянов Джедев), was a Bulgarian revolutionary, writer, and historian.

A participant in the April Uprising of 1876, he became its first historiographer with his book Memoirs of the Bulgarian Uprisings.[1] Stoyanov directed the Unification of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia in 1885, and was one of the leaders of the People's Liberal Party until the end of his life.
