Wang Wei (Chinese 王微)(1597-1647) was a Chinese woman poet.
Orphaned at the age of seven, she became a courtesan in Yangzhou. In later life she was twice married and twice widowed, before becoming a priestess with the name "Taoist Master in the Straw coat". Thereafter she travelled throughout central China on a boat, writing poems celebrating nature.
