Yan Mingfu (Chinese: 阎明复; pinyin: Yán Míngfù; 11 November 1931 – 3 July 2023) was a Chinese politician. His first prominent role in government began in 1985, when he was made leader of the United Front Work Department for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He held the position until the Politburo expelled him for his sympathies with the 1989 Tiananmen Square protestors. Yan returned to government work in 1991 when he became a vice minister of Civil Affairs.
