楊順(Stephen Johnson,1803年4月15日—1886年)又名詹思文,是美國公理會差會派往中國福州的先鋒傳教士。
1803年4月15日,楊順出生在美國馬薩諸塞州Conn的格里斯沃爾德。1827年,他畢業於阿默斯特學院,1829-1832年就讀於奧本神學院[1]。
1833年,楊順受美國公理會差會派遣,前往暹羅曼谷,向當地來自福建省的華人移民傳教,學會福建方言。1846年,他前往中國福州傳教,1847年1月2日到達福州,為抵達該市的第一位新教傳教士[2]。但是他發現福州方言與他在曼谷學到的方言大為不同。他先在中洲租屋居住,他認為這是一個富有潛力的傳教中心,建議美國公理會差會迅速增援力量。幾個月後曾經在暹羅同工的弼利民(Lyman Birt Peet)夫婦來到福州與他會合。
楊順在福州傳教將近6年後,由於健康原因被迫於1853年返回美國[3][4]。1886年在紐約州Gouverneur去世。
