Ni Wen-ya (Chinese: 倪文亞; 2 March 1903 – 3 June 2006) was a longtime member of the Legislative Yuan, a parliamentary body first based in the Republic of China, and later moved to Taiwan.

Born in Yueqing, Ni studied for his master's degree at Columbia University in the United States, and later taught at Great China University. He was elected to represent Chekiang Province in the parliament through the 1947 legislative elections. Ni served as Vice President of the Legislative Yuan, before replacing Huang Guo-shu in the top leadership position as Huang had resigned due to health reasons. Ni was replaced as President of the Yuan by Liu Kwo-tsai in October 1988 when he first attempted to resign, but did not relinquish his legislative seat until December 1988, when his resignation was approved.

Ni was married to Shirley Kuo until his death on 3 June 2006 at Cathay General Hospital in Taipei.
