Zhao Zhiyong (born April 1955) is a former Chinese politician, banker, and regional official. He served as the Vice Governor of Jiangxi province between March 2002 to June 2008, and Communist Party Secretary of Jiujiang, from June 2005 to November 2006. He also served as Secretary-General of Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee (江西省委秘书长) from 2008 until June 2014, when he was dismissed for corruption.

Zhao was said to have "seriously violated party discipline," expelled from the Communist Party in July 2014, and demoted from a sub-provincial-level position directly to the lowest administrative level of the civil service of keyuan (科员). Zhao's demotion was notable for its severity.
