The Hu–Wen Administration (simplified Chinese: 胡温体制; traditional Chinese: 胡溫體制; pinyin: Hú-Wēn Tǐzhì), or Hu-Wen New Administration (simplified Chinese: 胡温新政; traditional Chinese: 胡溫新政; pinyin: Hú-Wēn Xīnzhèng) is the name given to the Chinese leadership that officially succeeded Jiang Zemin, Li Peng and Zhu Rongji in 2003. Using the two leaders' surnames, it is abbreviated as Hu-Wen (simplified Chinese: 胡温; traditional Chinese: 胡溫).

This phrase is named after the new Party General Secretary Hu Jintao and Government Premier Wen Jiabao, who are considered the 4th generation Chinese leaders and are viewed as, at least ostensibly, more reform-oriented and more open-minded and have been praised by political observers. Their dominant political ideology is termed the Scientific Development Concept.
