Hu Shuli (Chinese: 胡舒立; pinyin: Hú Shūlì; born 1953) is the founder and publisher of Caixin Media.

Hu also has an older sister named Cao Zuoya (曹佐雅), who studied in San Diego State University.

She joined China Business Times in 1992 as international editor and became chief reporter in 1995, resigning in 1998 to start Caijing.

She is author of several books, including New Financial Time, Reform Bears No Romance and The Scenes Behind American Newspapers.

In November 2009, Hu Shuli resigned from Caijing along with 90 percent of Caijing's journalists, barely a few weeks after the resignation of Daphne Wu Chuanhui and nearly 70 employees from the business department,[10] and created the breakthrough new media group, Caixin Media and acted as editor-in-chief.
