Director of the General Office of the Chinese Communist Party

The director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party is the leader of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The director oversees the daily operations of the CCP Central Committee.

Although the General Office's business is often not overtly political, the directors have historically had close connections with the CCP's top leaders, and usually join the Politburo or the Secretariat after their period leading the General Office. The director of the General office has been informally referred to as the "Danei Zongguan" (大内总管), roughly translated as "the gatekeeper". While the director of the General Office is sometimes referred to as an analogue to the party General Secretary's "Chief of Staff", the general secretary also maintains a personal staff as part of the Office of the General Secretary, whose director may also, but not necessarily, conterminously hold the position of director of the General Office.

The current director of the General Office is Cai Qi, who is the fifth-ranking member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.
