Du Wei (Chinese: 杜威; pinyin: Dù Wēi; Mandarin pronunciation: [tû wéɪ]; born 9 February 1982) is a Chinese former professional footballer who played as a centre-back.

He played for the China national team in their participation in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. This saw foreign interests come from Scottish Premier League side Celtic in the form of a loan, however an extension to the loan was never taken up and he returned to Shanghai Shenhua where he captained them for several seasons before joining Hangzhou Greentown and Shandong Luneng as well as captaining his national team in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.
