Qi Yuwu (Chinese: 戚玉武; pinyin: Qī Yùwǔ; born 28 November 1976) is a television actor from Singapore who was born in Guangzhou, China.

Qi was a Physical Education major graduate. He was the champion as well as Mr Personality in the China Round of Asian Star Search 1999, Singapore's regional talent search contest.

In 2004, 2005 and 2006, he was voted as one of the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste on the annual Star Awards. He was also nominated for the Best Actor award in Star Awards 2004 for the drama series, Room In My Heart.

Last year (Year 2006), he was seen as the hot favourite for winning the Best Actor award for his good acting in the show C.I.D in the Star Awards 2006. Unfortunately, he lost out to veteran actor Li Nanxing. After the results were announced, many of his fans had protested.

Prior to signing to MediaCorp Studios, he was a model and had played the lead role in a Guangzhou TV serial.

A natural actor, Yuwu was cast alongside regional artistes in his debut TV series, Master Swordsman Lu Xiao Feng. This was immediately followed by Dare To Strike, another blockbuster co-production with veteran Hong Kong actors.

Though being young in the industry, he already has a large following of fans and was also voted one of the most popular male artistes in a local Internet poll.^{[citation needed]}
