Li Linfu
Li Linfu () (died January 3, 753), nickname Genu (), formally the Duke of Jin (), was an official of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, serving as a chancellor for 18 years (734–752), during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong—one of the longest terms of service for a chancellor in Tang history, and the longest during Xuanzong's reign.

In 725, the deputy ministers of census (戶部侍郎, "Hubu Shilang") Yang Chang (楊瑒) and Bai Zhishen (白知慎) were both charged with making poor budgetary decisions and demoted to be prefectural prefects. Emperor Xuanzong asked the chancellors and other officials to recommend someone who could be qualified to lead the ministry of census, and many recommended Li. Emperor Xuanzong was set to make him the minister of census (戶部尚書, "Hubu Shangshu"), but the high level officials at the time thought that he was still too inexperienced, and therefore he was only made deputy minister of census, and was given the honorific title "Zhong Daifu" (中大夫). He submitted a number of policy suggestions that pleased Emperor Xuanzong, and Emperor Xuanzong awarded him with a robe and silk. In 726, in the aftermaths of the chancellor Zhang Shuo being removed on accusations of corruption, Li was made "Zhongshu Shilang" (中書侍郎), the deputy head of the legislative bureau of government (中書省, "Zhongshu Sheng") and given the designation "Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi" (同中書門下平章事), making him a chancellor "de facto". He was also given the honorific title "Yinqing Guanglu Daifu" (銀青光祿大夫) and created the Baron of Qingshui.
