The Kunyu Quantu (simplified Chinese: 坤舆全图; traditional Chinese: 坤輿全圖; pinyin: Kūnyú Quántú), or Full Map of the World, was a map of the world developed by Jesuit father Ferdinand Verbiest during his mission in China in 1674.[1] A copy is kept at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow.[2]

The map follows the earlier works of Matteo Ricci, such as the Kunyu Wanguo Quantu.
