Hu Guang (1370[1]–1418), courtesy name Guangda, art name Huangan, was a prominent Chinese scholar-official during the Ming dynasty.

In 1400, he was awarded the prestigious rank of jinshi, placing him among the top three candidates in all of China.

After the removal of Xie Jin in 1407, Hu Guang became Senior Grand Secretary and served in this position until his death in 1418.

His reputation was further solidified by his refusal to attack officials who had made mistakes, and he even advised the emperor to exercise moderation in the purges of 1402.

After his death, he was given an honorary posthumous name, making him one of only two civil officials to receive this honor during the Yongle Emperor's reign.
