Li Weihan (Chinese: 李维汉; 2 June 1896 – 11 August 1984) was a Chinese Communist Party politician from Hunan. A Long March veteran, Li led the Central Party School in Yan'an. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was the Chairman of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and led the United Front Department until 1964. As director of the UFWD, Li's view was that the CCP should accommodate and seek to raise the political consciousness of religious believers, contending that believers were generally "patriotic". In the 1960s, Li was politically targeted because of his comparatively soft line on religious policy. Politically rehabilitated in 1978, Li was later appointed to the Central Advisory Commission. Li died in 1984.
