Hu Kexian () was a Chinese general who served in the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War. The sixth year graduate of the famous Whampoa Military Academy at the age of 19, Hu Kexian became a Lieutenant General at the age of 28 and was in charge of the only heavy artillery regiment (10th regiment/第十團重炮兵團長) of the ROC army during his time.
