如果你不想使用一个额外的父视图来设置背景，你可以子类化UILabel并重写textRectForBounds: limitedtonumberolines:。我会添加一个textEdgeInsets属性或类似的，然后做

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds limitedToNumberOfLines:(NSInteger)numberOfLines
{
  return [super textRectForBounds:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds,textEdgeInsets) limitedToNumberOfLines:numberOfLines];
}

为了健壮性，你可能还想在setTextEdgeInsets:中调用[self setNeedsDisplay]，但我通常不这么做。

编辑:这个真的很老了。上面有更好的解决方案。

我最终只是在文本中添加了一些空格:

self.titleLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"    %@", self.titleLabel.text];

丑陋但有效，不需要子类化。

你也可以试试“\t”。对于一般的解决方案，请参考已接受的答案

对于Xamarin用户(使用统一API):

class UIMarginLabel : UILabel
{
    public UIMarginLabel()
    {
    }

    public UIMarginLabel( CGRect frame ) : base( frame )
    {
    }

    public UIEdgeInsets Insets { get; set; }

    public override void DrawText( CGRect rect )
    {
        base.DrawText( Insets.InsetRect( rect ) );
    }
}

对于那些使用原始MonoTouch API的人:

public class UIMarginLabel : UILabel
{
    public UIEdgeInsets Insets { get; set; }

    public UIMarginLabel() : base()
    {
        Insets = new UIEdgeInsets(0, 0, 0, 0);
    }
    public UIMarginLabel(RectangleF frame) : base(frame)
    {
        Insets = new UIEdgeInsets(0, 0, 0, 0);
    }

    public override void DrawText(RectangleF frame)
    {
        base.DrawText(new RectangleF(
            frame.X + Insets.Left,
            frame.Y + Insets.Top,
            frame.Width - Insets.Left - Insets.Right,
            frame.Height - Insets.Top - Insets.Bottom));
    }
}

这是我发现的最简单的方法。这对我来说很有魔力。

UIView *titleSection = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, screenWidth, 100)];
[titleSection addSubview:titleSection];

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectInset(titleSection.frame, PADDING, 0)];
[titleSection addSubview:label];

我认为UILabel类没有设置边距的方法。为什么不把标签的位置设置在需要的位置?

见下面的代码:

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] init];
label.text = @"This is label";
label.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100);

如果来自接口构建器，则按以下方式定位Label:

yourLabel.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100);

#import "E_LabelWithPadding.h"
#define padding UIEdgeInsetsMake(2, 0, 2, 0)
#define padding1 UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)
@implementation E_LabelWithPadding
- (void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect {
if (![self.text isEqualToString:@""]) {
    [super drawTextInRect:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, padding)];
}else {
    [super drawTextInRect:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, padding1)];
}

}

- (CGSize) intrinsicContentSize {
if (![self.text isEqualToString:@""]) {
    CGSize superContentSize = [super intrinsicContentSize];
    CGFloat width = superContentSize.width + padding.left + padding.right;
    CGFloat height = superContentSize.height + padding.top + padding.bottom;
    return CGSizeMake(width, height);
}else {
    CGSize superContentSize = [super intrinsicContentSize];
    CGFloat width = superContentSize.width + padding1.left + padding1.right;
    CGFloat height = superContentSize.height + padding1.top + padding1.bottom;
    return CGSizeMake(width, height);
}

}

- (CGSize) sizeThatFits:(CGSize)size {
if (![self.text isEqualToString:@""]) {
    CGSize superSizeThatFits = [super sizeThatFits:size];
    CGFloat width = superSizeThatFits.width + padding.left + padding.right;
    CGFloat height = superSizeThatFits.height + padding.top + padding.bottom;
    return CGSizeMake(width, height);
}else {
    CGSize superSizeThatFits = [super sizeThatFits:size];
    CGFloat width = superSizeThatFits.width + padding1.left + padding1.right;
    CGFloat height = superSizeThatFits.height + padding1.top + padding1.bottom;
    return CGSizeMake(width, height);
}

}
