Wu Rong-i (Chinese: 吳榮義; pinyin: Wú Róngyì; born 15 December 1939) is a politician in the Republic of China. He was the Vice Premier in 2005–2006.

Wu obtained his doctoral degree in economics from Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium.

In October 2005, Wu said that Chinese reunification is highly unlikely to happen during his lifetime unless Beijing uses force. However, he considers Mainland China as a big brother, and wish to take the opportunity for Taiwanese to invest in the mainland and have peaceful relation with them.

In early October 2013 during the cross-strait peace forum in Shanghai in which attended by officials from the Communist Party of China, Pan-Blue Coalition and Pan-Green Coalition, Wu proposed the idea that Taiwan and Mainland China represent an "allegiance of brotherhood".
