Wu Zhongxin (March 15, 1884 - December 1959) was a government official and a general of the Republic of China, with close ties to Chiang Kai-Shek. He was a member of the CC Clique (Central Club Clique), one of the political factions within the Guomindang. As the chairman of the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission he was present at the enthronement ceremony of the 14th Dalai Lama in Lhasa in 1940. He held offices such as the Xinjiang Provincial Government before he retreated to Taiwan. Thereafter he was still regarded as an elder statesman with political influence.
