Qin Hui or Qin Kuai (January 17, 1091 – November 18, 1155) was a Chinese politician. He was a Chancellor of the Song dynasty in Chinese history.

He was a contemporary of Yue Fei during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Song. Modern historians have blamed Qin Hui for being a traitor for his part in the persecution and execution of his political enemy, Yue Fei, a general who fought for the Song against the Jin dynasty during the Jin–Song Wars.^[1]

He was also nicknamed "Long-legged Qin" (Chinese: 秦長腿).^[2]^[3]
