Lee Hung-chun (Chinese: 李鴻鈞; pinyin: Lǐ Hóngjūn; born 11 May 1959) is a Taiwanese engineer and politician who serves as the acting President of the Control Yuan since 2025 and vice president of the Control Yuan since 2022. Before his vice-presidentship, he served as a member of the Legislative Yuan for eighteen years from 2002 to 2020.

Lee Hung-chun was born in what is now New Taipei City on 11 May 1959.[1][2] His father, Lee Teng-hui (no relation to former president Lee Teng-hui), was the former head official of Taishan, New Taipei. His elder brother is politician Lee Hong-yuan.[3]

After graduating from the Lee-Ming Institute of Technology, Lee earned an M.E. and Ph.D. in structural engineering from Nihon University in Japan. His doctoral dissertation, written in Japanese, was titled, "ダフィング型応力-ひずみ非線形を有するはり部材の力 学挙動に関する研究" (English: A study of nonlinear stress and strain phenomena of nonlinear duffing as applied to the mechanical behavior of beams).[4] After receiving his doctorate, Lee briefly taught engineering at Nihon University, then returned to Taiwan to work as an architect.[5]
