Qi Junzao (Chinese: 祁寯藻; July 11, 1793 – October 22, 1866) was a Chinese politician and calligrapher. Considered one of the "four great calligraphers" of the 1800s in China, he was also a prominent poet.[citation needed] He later became leader of the Grand Council of the Qing dynasty's imperial court.

Qi Juanzao was Han Chinese and had special influence in the Daoguang and Xianfeng eras. He was an exponent of the Song school of Chinese poetry.[citation needed]
