Tantai (譚泰, 1594–1651) was a Qing dynasty general of Manchu ethnicity in the Plain Yellow Banner. He was a supporter of the powerful regent Dorgon. In 1644, he was made a duke, but because of having a feud with Soni and other people, he was demoted to a viscount in 1645, and a commoner in 1646. From 1646 to 1648, he was the private advisor to Dorgon. In 1648, he was appointed Senior General Who Attacks the South and was given command over the armies in Jiangxi who were fighting Jin Shenghuan. After quelling Jin's rebellion in 1649, he was again made a viscount, and in 1650, he rose to the rank of president of Board of Civil Office. After the death of Dorgon in 1650, Tantai transferred is loyalty to the Shunzhi Emperor and persecuted many of Dorgon's former supporters. For this, he was made a duke on March 25, 1651. However on October 1 the same year, he was charged with arrogant conduct, with interference in the affairs of the other five Boards, and with nepotism in office. In the course of his trial all those whom he had offended or wronged while Dorgon was in power came out to bring charges against him. Finally, he was ordered to be executed.

He had three sons: Kongniu, Tangguha, and Luozhongniu.

譚泰（？ - ？），舒穆祿氏，滿洲正黃旗人。

揚古利的從弟。早年被後金授予牛錄額真。崇德六年（1641年），松錦之戰爆發，譚泰率400人自小凌河直抵海邊，斷絕明兵歸路。此役洪承疇被俘。崇德七年（1642年），譚泰又連敗何騰蛟、白廣恩等。順治五年（1648年），授為征南大將軍，同何洛會討伐金聲桓、王得仁、李成棟等。屢建軍功，深得多爾袞信任，尊陳名夏為「南黨」盟主。順治七年（1650年）多爾袞死後，大學士剛林、祁充格皆被殺，唯譚泰出任吏部滿族尚書。

順治八年（1651年）五月，陳名夏被御史張煊彈劾，譚泰「咆哮攘臂，力庇黨人」。張煊反因誣告之罪被處死。

自此譚泰更縱恣，其妻弟岳爾多已承襲一等精奇尼哈番，為奪其族人法喀應襲一等阿思哈尼哈番而合併為三等侯；譚泰女弟之夫佟圖賴，當時金礪駐防杭州，妄稱員缺，以佟圖賴為擬補。世祖自譚泰袒護陳名夏而搆張煊，已對他厭惡。當年八月，世祖下詔責罰譚泰專橫，命執捕譚泰付於獄中，糾集廷臣議罪。鰲拜復揭發譚泰依附多爾袞及營私擅政諸罪狀，上報之事皆定案屬實。王公大臣議誅殺譚泰及其子孫，世祖下命只誅譚泰，籍沒他的家產，寬恕他的子孫牽連之罪。
