Lee Hsin (Chinese: 李新; born 16 July 1953) is a Taiwanese politician who has served on the Taipei City Council since 1998. He has been a member of both the New Party and People First Party, and later joined the Kuomintang. Lee joined the 2006 campaign led by Shih Ming-teh which attempted to force the resignation of President Chen Shui-bian. In 2015, Lee expressed interest in running for the Kuomintang chairmanship, but his candidacy, and that of four others, was rejected. The next year, he launched another bid for the party leadership, finishing third in a field of four candidates with 7,604 votes.
