吴宗尧，歙县人。
明史卷二百三十七 列传第一百二十五：
吴宗尧，字仁叔，歙县人。万历二十三年进士。授益都知县。性强项。中官陈增以开矿至，诬奏福山知县韦国贤阻挠，被逮削籍。守令多屈节如属吏，宗尧独具宾主礼。增党程守训，宗尧邑子也。宗尧恶其奸，不与通。驿丞金子登说增开孟丘山矿，宗尧叱其欺罔。子登惧，构于增。日征千人凿山，多捶死；又诬富民盗矿，三日捕系五百人。二十六年九月，宗尧尽发增不法事。帝得疏意动，持不下。会给事中包见捷极论增罪，请撤还。帝责增，令检下。见捷同官郝敬复请治增罪，帝乃不悦，责宗尧狂逞要名。已而山东巡抚尹应元劾增背旨虐民二十罪。帝遂发怒，切责应元，削宗尧籍。敬复抗疏谏，帝益怒，夺俸一年，并夺应元俸。增遂劾宗尧阻挠矿务，且令守训诬讦之。帝既遣逮治，御史刘景辰、给事中侯庆远争之，不听。使者至，民大哗，欲杀增。宗尧行，民哭声震地。既至，下诏狱拷讯，系经年。礼部郎鲍应鳌等言于沈一贯曰：“南康守吴宝秀已得安居牖下，宗尧何独不然？”一贯揭入，即释为民，未几卒。天启时，赠光禄少卿，赐祭，录一子。
