Fan Li (fl. 5th-century BCE) was a Chinese businessman, military strategist, and politician from the Spring and Autumn period.

He later became known as Tao Zhugong, a name he took after achieving a decisive victory for Yue over the state of Wu and retiring to live a secluded life with his wife Xi Shi, one of the most famous beauties in Chinese history.
