Hu Lie (胡烈; died 9 July 270),[1] courtesy name Xuanwu (玄武)[2] or Wuxuan (武玄),[3] was a Chinese official of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of China, and its successor state, Western Jin. Serving under Sima Zhao and his son Sima Yan, Hu was best known for taking part in Cao Wei's invasion of Shu, where he joined Zhong Hui in slandering Deng Ai and later played a vital role in stopping Zhong's mutiny, and his death in Tufa Shujineng's rebellion.

A Jin Zhugong Zan annotation in Zhong Hui's biography in Sanguozhi recorded that Hu's son Hu Yuan was 18 (by East Asian reckoning) during Zhong Hui's rebellion in March 264. Hu Yuan was known by his courtesy name Shiyuan in Book of Jin, as his name violated naming taboo (being the same as Emperor Gaozu of Tang). The "Shi" in his courtesy name technically also violated naming taboo as it is part of Emperor Taizong's name (Li Shimin).
