Er Cheng quanshu 二程全書 "Complete writings of the Brothers Cheng", also called Henan Chengshi quanshu 河南程氏全書, is a series of collectanea (congshu 叢書) including the complete writings of the two Northern-Song-period 北宋 (960-1126) Neo-Confucian philosophers Cheng Hao 程顥 (Master Mingdao 明道先生, 1032-1085) and Cheng Yi 程頤 (Master Yichuan 伊川先生, 1033-1107). It was compiled during the Southern Song period 南宋 (1127-1279) by Zhu Xi 朱熹 (1130-1200).

The collection includes seven separate books or collections with a total length of 64 juan. The books Zhouyi Chengshi zhuan 周易程氏傳 (also called Yichuan Yizhuan 伊川易傳) and (Henan) Chengshi jingshuo 河南程氏經說 (Yichuan jingshuo 伊川經說) are also separately to be found in the imperial series Siku quanshu 四庫全書.

The Er Cheng quanshu was first printed in 1477 by Zhang Zan 張瓚, and then again in 1606 and during the Kangxi reign-period 康熙 (1662-1722) by the Baogao Studio 寶誥堂. In 1871 it was published by the Qiuwo Studio 求我齋, as a text-critical edition compiled by Hong Rukui 洪汝奎 (1824-1886). It is part of the series Sibu beiyao 四部備要.
