Yu Minzhong (Chinese: 于敏中; pinyin: Yú Mǐnzhōng, 1714 – 14 January 1780) was an official of the Qing Dynasty, who served as chief grand councilor for part of the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. Yu Minzhong was a native of Jintan, Jiangsu province. In 1737, he became a Zhuangyuan of the Imperial examination. Before his appointment as chief grand councilor, he served as an editor and scribe to the emperor. During his tenure as chief grand councilor, a significant rise in corruption occurred.
