Sir Marc Aurel Stein (Hungarian: Stein Márk Aurél) (1862 – 1943) was a Hungarian archaeologist. He was also a professor at various Indian universities.

Stein was born in Budapest in a Jewish family. His parents had him and his brother, Ernst Eduard, baptised as Lutherans, while his parents and sisters remained Jews He later became a British citizen and made his famous expeditions under British sponsorship.

Stein made four major expeditions to Central Asia - in 1900, 1906-8, 1913-16 and 1930.[2] One of his significant finds during his first journey in 1900-1901 was the Taklamakan Desert oasis of Dandan Oilik where he was able to uncover a number of relics.

The British Library's Stein collection of Chinese, Tibetan and Tangut manuscripts, Prakrit wooden tablets, and documents in Khotanese, Uyghur, Sogdian and Eastern Turkic is the result of his travels through central Asia during the 1920s and 1930s. Stein discovered manuscripts in the previously lost Tocharian languages of the Tarim Basin at Marin and other oasis towns, and recorded numerous archaeological sites especially in Iran and Balochistan.

Stein's greatest discovery was made at the Mogao Caves also known as "Caves of the Thousand Buddhas", near Dunhuang. It was there that he discovered the Diamond Sutra, the world's oldest dated printed text, along with 40,000 other scrolls (all removed by gradually winning the confidence of the Taoist caretaker).
