Cheng Weigao (Chinese: 程维高; September 1933 – December 28, 2010) was a Chinese politician, best known for his term as the Party Secretary of Hebei between 1993 and 1998. Cheng was expelled from the Chinese Communist Party in 2003 after several of his associates and family members were implicated in corruption cases. He was not criminally charged but was administratively demoted from provincial to sub-provincial rank and retired at that level. When he died in 2010, the CCP's official obituary gave him a positive evaluation.
