Weng Wenhao (simplified Chinese: 翁文灏; traditional Chinese: 翁文灝; pinyin: Wēng Wénhào; 26 July 1889 – 27 January 1971), courtesy name Yongni (咏霓), was a Chinese geologist and politician. One of the earliest modern Chinese geologists, he is regarded as the founder of modern Chinese geology and the father of modern Chinese oil industry.
