Hsu Hung-chih (Chinese: 徐鴻志; pinyin: Xú Hóngzhì; 4 January 1937 – 28 January 2018) was a Taiwanese politician.

He studied economics at Soochow University and became a teacher in Taichung. In 1967, Hsu was first elected to the Taoyuan County Council. He was reelected twice thereafter as a county council member.[1] Hsu became county magistrate in 1981, due to the support of Hokkien-speaking voters in Taoyuan supportive of the Kuomintang. Upon the end of his second term, Hsu was succeeded by Liu Pang-yu, who took office backed by Hakka voters affiliated with the Kuomintang.[2] Hsu died of lung cancer at the age of 81 on 28 January 2018.[1][2]
