Zhao Leji (simplified Chinese: 赵乐际; traditional Chinese: 趙樂際; pinyin: Zhào Lèjì; born March 1957) is a Chinese politician and former regional official. Since 2012, he has been a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China, a member of the Central Committee Secretariat, and a member of the economic reform 'steering committee' known as Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms.

Zhao Leji was born in Xining, Qinghai province. His parents were from Xi'an, Shaanxi province. The family moved to Qinghai as part of the aid the frontiers programs of the Mao years. During the later years of the Cultural Revolution, Zhao went to the countryside to perform manual labour on a commune. After working there for about a year, Zhao returned to the city to become a communications assistant at the Commerce Department of Qinghai province.
Zhao joined the Communist Party in 1975 and entered Peking University in 1977 as a gongnongbing student; he studied philosophy there until January 1980. He then spent three years teaching at the Qinghai School of Commerce and overseeing the Communist Youth League wing of the provincial department of commerce. In 1985, he was transferred to a Qinghai-based metal products company to be its party chief. In April 1986, he became deputy head of the provincial department of commerce.
