Ni Wen-ya (; 2 March 1903 – 3 June 2006) was a longtime member of the Legislative Yuan, a parliamentary body first based in the Republic of China, and later moved to Taiwan.
Ni was born in Yueqing, Zhejiang, Qing China. He studied for his master's degree at Columbia University in the United States and taught at Great China University.[1]
Ni was elected to represent Zhejiang in the parliament through the 1947 legislative elections.[2] Ni served as Vice President of the Legislative Yuan, before replacing Huang Kuo-shu in the top leadership position as Huang had resigned for health reasons.[1] Ni was replaced as President of the Yuan by Liu Kuo-tsai in October 1988 when he first attempted to resign,[3] but did not relinquish his legislative seat until December 1988, when his resignation was approved.[4]
Ni was married to Shirley Kuo. Ni died on 3 June 2006 at Cathay General Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan.[2] [5]
