Zhang Shenfu (Chinese: 张申府; September 15, 1893 – June 20, 1986), born Zhang Songnian (张崧年), courtesy name Shenfu (申甫), was a founder of the Chinese Communist Party, a philosopher, and a political activist.

When the Chinese Communist Party was founded by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao in the French concession of Shanghai in 1921 as a study society and informal network, Zhang organized the counterpart group in France (later used to engage in Lyon Sino-French University after WWI) and then introduced his fiancée Liu Qingyang and friend Zhou Enlai to CCP.

[citation needed] In 1925, due to disagreements with other representatives at the fourth congress, Zhang quit the party.

After CCP won the Chinese Civil War, Zhang was employed as a researcher at the National Library with Zhou Enlai's permission.

After Mao's death and the 3rd plenary session of the 11th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, he was rehabilitated.
