Lê Minh Hưng (Vietnamese pronunciation: [le˧˧ mïŋ˧˧ hɨŋ˧˧]; born 11 December 1970) is a Vietnamese economist and politician. A member of the Politburo, he is the Head of the Central Organization Commission and was previously Chief of the Office of the Central Committee. In 2016, at the age of 46, he became the youngest Governor in the history of the State Bank of Vietnam, a position he held until 2020 under the cabinet of Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. At the 14th Party Congress, he was elevated to the Politburo and has been widely considered the presumptive designate to succeed Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính.
Hưng graduated from Vietnam National University and holds a master's degree in economics from Saitama University, Japan.
