Zheng Junli (December 6, 1911 - April 23, 1969) was a Chinese actor and director born in Shanghai and who rose to prominence in the golden age of Chinese Cinema. During the 1930s, Zheng was an actor under contract with Lianhua Film Company. While with Lianhua, he played a number of roles, notably as the love-interest Yu Haichou in the film New Women opposite Ruan Lingyu.
After the war Zheng began to focus his efforts on directing, most notably with the film The Spring River Flows East (co-directed with Cai Chusheng) and his anti-KMT polemic Crows and Sparrows. With the Communist takeover of China in 1949, Zheng remained on the mainland and continued to make films in the 1950s including two biographical pictures on Nie Er and Lin Zexu (both films starred actor Zhao Dan).
