Liu Yongqing (born 3 October 1940) is the wife of Hu Jintao, the former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of the People's Republic of China.

Traditionally, Liu Yongqing's role would be primarily domestic, but Liu often accompanied her husband on his official trips to foreign countries and made personal appearances at charities and cultural institutions all over the world.

Liu Yongqing was born in 1940 in Chongqing and attended Bashu High School.

As with her husband, Liu's life and background are not widely known among foreign observers.

She received virtually no public attention before Hu Jintao's leadership.
