Wei Yi (Chinese: 韦奕; born 2 June 1999) is a Chinese chess grandmaster. Wei became a grandmaster at the age of 13 years, 8 months and 23 days, the 11th youngest in history (fourth at the time). He was the youngest player ever to reach a rating of 2700, accomplishing this feat at age 15 (Although this was surpassed by Yağız Kaan Erdoğmuş in April 2026, who broke 2700 at 14 years and 10 months). Wei represents the Jiangsu club in the China Chess League and is a three-time Chinese Chess Champion, 2018 Asian Chess Champion and 2022 Asian Games Men's individual rapid champion. He won the Tata Steel Masters in 2024.
He was runner up in the 2025 Chess World Cup and qualified to the 2026 Candidates Tournament.
