唐文献,华亭人。
明史卷二百十六 列传第一百四:
  唐文献,字元徵,华亭人。万历十四年进士第一。授修撰,历詹事。
  沈一贯以“妖书”事倾尚书郭正域,持之急。文献偕其僚杨道宾、周如砥、陶望龄往见一贯曰:“郭公将不免,人谓公实有意杀之。”一贯踞跼艴,酹地若为誓者。文献曰:“亦知公无意杀之也,第台省承风下石,而公不早讫此狱,何辞以谢天下。”一贯敛容谢之。望龄见朱赓不为救,亦正色责以大义,愿弃官与正域同死。狱得稍解。然文献等以是失政府意。久之,拜礼部右侍郎,掌翰林院事。初,文献出赵用贤门,以名节相矜许。同年生给事中李沂劾张鲸被廷杖,文献掖之出,资给其汤药。荆州推官华钰忤税监逮下诏狱,文献力周旋,得无死。掌翰林日,当考察,执政欲庇一人,执不许。卒官。赠礼部尚书,谥文恪。
