Zhang Tailei (simplified Chinese: 张太雷; traditional Chinese: 張太雷; pinyin: Zhāng Tàiléi; June 1898 – 12 December 1927) was the leader of the Guangzhou Uprising, during which he was killed.

Zhang was sent to the Russian Far East in 1921 to make a report to the Comintern for the Chinese Communist Party. Zhang then studied in Moscow for a few years. However, when he went back to China, he became hostile to the others who had returned to China in 1924.[1]

Zhang emphasized the role of an army that is created out of bandits, the poorest peasants, paupers, and rural lumpenproletarian elements.[citation needed]
