Wu Jinglüe (1907-1987) was a Chinese musician originally from near Suzhou. He is considered one of the most important guqin players of the 20th century and was also an active researcher and teacher.

He was born in the town of Xitangshi, Changshu County, near Suzhou in Jiangsu province, China, on February 5, 1907, and died in Beijing on August 16, 1987. He served as a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, and played a prominent role in raising the guqin to professional standards as a concert instrument. The two most prominent players to transmit his style and repertoire are Li Xiangting and Wu Wenguang, currently the leading guqin figures in Beijing's conservatories.
