Li Si (; 280 BC – September or October 208 BC) was a Chinese calligrapher, philosopher, politician, and writer of the Qin dynasty. He served as Chancellor (or Prime Minister) from 246 to 208 BC under two rulers: Qin Shi Huang, the king of the Qin state and later the First Emperor of the Qin dynasty; and Qin Er Shi, Qin Shi Huang's eighteenth son and the Second Emperor. Concerning administrative methods, Li Si "indicated that he admired and utilized the ideas of Shen Buhai", repeatedly referring to the technique of Shen Buhai and Han Fei, but regarding law followed Shang Yang.

John Knoblock, a translator of classical Chinese texts, considered Li Si "one of the two or three most important figures in Chinese history". Having a clear vision of universal empire and "one world comprising all Chinese, bringing with universal dominion universal peace", Li Si was "largely responsible for the creation of those institutions that made the Qin dynasty the first universal state in Chinese history".

Li Si assisted the Emperor Shi Huangdi in unifying the laws, governmental ordinances, weights and measures, and standardized chariots, carts, and the characters used in writing... facilitating the cultural unification of China. He "created a government based solely on merit, so that in the empire sons and younger brothers in the imperial clan were not ennobled, but meritorious ministers were", and "pacified the frontier regions by subduing the barbarians to the north and south". He had the weapons of the feudal states melted and cast into musical bells and large human statues, and relaxed taxes and the draconian punishments inherited from Shang Yang.

李斯(前284年 - ),楚國上蔡(今河南省上蔡縣西南方)人,是秦朝著名的政治家、文學家和書法家。李斯曾任秦朝左丞相,司馬遷著《史記》,將李斯和趙高併寫於《李斯列傳》。

或說字通古。早年為上蔡郡的小吏,負責掌管文書,後和韓非師從荀子學習帝王之術,後來都成為諸子百家中法家學說的代表人物。李斯學成後進入秦國,為秦文信侯呂不韋的舍人,文信侯很賞識李斯,任他做郎官。後勸說秦王政攻滅東方六國是勢之所在,須把握時機而為之,及後被任命為長史。秦王政採納其計謀,遣謀士持金帛遊說山東六國,離間各國君臣,又任命其為客卿。秦王政十年(前237年)由于韓國水工鄭國以修築渠道為名來到秦國做間諜,秦王下令驅逐六國客卿。李斯上《諫逐客書》阻止,被秦王政所採納,不久官至廷尉。在秦滅六國之戰的事業中起了較大作用。

秦統一六國後,李斯與丞相王綰、御史大夫馮劫等議定尊秦王尊號為皇帝。李斯主張郡縣制,反對分封制;又主張焚毀民間所收藏諸子百家之書。李斯還參與了秦朝諸多制度建設,對後世影響深遠。秦始皇死後,李斯為保身,與趙高陷害秦始皇長子公子扶蘇,立秦始皇幼子胡亥為皇帝,後被趙高所害,誅滅三族。
