Zhang Qilong (; 1900 – June 3, 1987) was a People's Republic of China politician. He was born in Liuyang, Hunan Province. He joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1926 and participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising of 1927. He was a member of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army during the Chinese Civil War, the Eighth Route Army and the People's Liberation Army. In 1933, his party membership was revoked and he divorced his then wife, Li Zhen, to avoid implicating her in his disgrace.[1] He was allowed back into the party in 1936. After the creation of the People's Republic of China, he was the first party chief for Heilongjiang Province.
