Hao Weizhen (1842–1920) was a Chinese tai chi teacher. Hao became a well known and influential teacher of Wu Yuxiang's style of tai chi, his teacher Li Yiyou was Wu Yuxiang's nephew. Hao passed the art of Wu Yuxiang's style of tai chi to his son and grandson, who became respected teachers in their own right, so that the style is sometimes now known as Wu (Hao)-style.
