Ehmetjan Qasimi (15 April 1914 – 27 August 1949) was a Uyghur politician and revolutionary who held several important positions in the governments of the Second East Turkestan Republic and the Republic of China's Xinjiang Province. He notably served as the vice chairman of the Coalition Government of Xinjiang Province.

Ehmetjan was born in Ghulja in 1914. He studied at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East, Moscow in 1936 and was a member of Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Ehmetjan was described as "Stalin's man", though the evidence for this description is circumstantial.
