Aaron Tai Wei Qin (Chinese: 戴伟钦; pinyin: Dài Wěiqīn, born 27 October 2006) is a Malaysian badminton player. A BWF World Tour Super 500 champion, world junior champion and Asian junior silver medalist, he won the men's doubles title at the 2026 Arctic Open with Yap Roy King and the boys' doubles gold medal at the 2024 BWF World Junior Championships with Kang Khai Xing. He and Kang also won the silver medal at the 2024 Badminton Asia Junior Championships. Their world junior championship victory ended Malaysia's 13-year wait for a boys' doubles title at the tournament, following Nelson Heg and Teo Ee Yi in 2011.

Together with Kang, Tai won three BWF World Tour titles in 2025, including the 2025 Malaysia Super 100, 2025 Syed Modi International and 2025 Guwahati Masters. Their Syed Modi International triumph marked their first Super 300 title. Following a restructuring of Malaysia's men's doubles partnerships in 2026, Tai partnered Aaron Chia to finish runners-up at the 2026 Taipei Open before winning his first Super 500 title at the 2026 Arctic Open alongside Yap Roy King. The pair captured the title in their first tournament together, defeating Chinese Taipei's Lai Po-yu and Tsai Fu-cheng in the final. Tai also won consecutive mixed doubles gold medals at the 2024 and 2026 Malaysian Games with Noraqilah Maisarah Ramdan, representing Melaka.
