Li Qi (李錡; 741 – December 3, 807[1]) was a military governor (Jiedushi) of the Chinese Tang dynasty, governing Zhenhai Circuit (鎮海, headquartered in modern Zhenjiang, Jiangsu). In 807, he rebelled against the authority of Emperor Xianzong, but he was quickly defeated and captured by his own subordinates who turned against him, and he was delivered to the capital Chang'an and executed via waist chop.
