Hu Fuguo (Chinese: 胡富国; born October 1937) is a Chinese politician currently serving as president of China Association of Poverty Alleviation & Development. He was Communist Party Secretary, Governor and CPPCC chairman of his home province Shanxi.

He was a delegate to the 13th and 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. He was a member of the 14th and 15th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.

Hu was a powerful provincial official in home-province Shanxi in the 1990s. During his tenure, he focused on energy alternatives, water development and conservation, the environment, education, economic development, and supervised the construction of Taiyuan-Jiuguan Expressway, Taiyuan Wusu International Airport, and Taiyuan railway station. At the same time, with his name and political influence, his sons Hu Zhiqiang and Hu Wenqiang experienced a meteoric rise in local politics and local state-owned enterprises.[1] But Hu Zhiqiang was sacked for purchasing offices and selling offices and collusion between officials and businessmen.[2]
