A-kuei (September 7, 1717 - October 10, 1797) was a Chinese noble general for the Ch'ing dynasty. He was a scion of a noble family who led Chinese military operations that put down uprisings in the western provinces of Szechwan and Kansu in northwestern China. He also led campaigns that acquired Ili and Turkestan (which today are part of the Sinkiang Uighur Autonomous Region), made Burma a tributary state for China, and led campaigns that took over the then recently defeated Taiwan. He was a minister of the emperor and a member of the Grand Council and Grand Secretariat (both administrative cabinets of the Chinese government) until his death at the age of 80 in Peking.
