Mo Teh-hui (Chinese: 莫德惠; pinyin: Mò Déhùi; Wade–Giles: Mo Teh-hui; 1883, Xinjiang province, Qing Dynasty – April 17, 1968, Taipei, Taiwan) was a nationalist Chinese politician.

Mo was born on the ninth year of Guangxu (光緒九年, 癸亥, 1883) in Xinjiang (新疆), of Manchu father and Uighur mother. He was born while his father was serving under General Zuo Zongtang in the Dungan revolt (1862–77), fighting against Yaqub Beg in Xinjiang. Mo's family then moved to a part of Jilin province which is now in modern-day Heilongjiang province. Mo's political career started in 1921, in Binjiang County (near Harbin) of Manchuria. As the magistrate of that county, Mo divided the county into five defense districts coterminous with the regular police districts, and recruited men into the constabulary to defend the whole county against bandits. He held that post until 1912, when he was elected to the provisional National Assembly of the newly established Republic of China.

He was Acting Minister of Agriculture and Commerce (1925) and Minister of Agriculture and Industry (1927–28) of China and, in the interim, served as the Civil Governor of Fengtian (Liaoning) (1926–27). In the Huanggutun Incident of 1928, he was on the same train with Marshall Zhang Zuolin and fortunately escaped with only a leg injury.
