Ying Lianzhi (英斂之; also known as Ying Hua) (1867–1926) was the founder of Ta Kung Pao and The Catholic University of Peking.

From the Manchu family of Hega, Ying received a Confucian education. He was said to be well versed in the Confucian Classics as a child. After reading the books by a couple Confucian-turned-Christian scholars of the late Ming period, Ying Hua became interested in Christianity and convinced that Confucianism and Christianity, Chinese culture and Western culture, were essentially complementary with each other.

From then onward, Catholicism became an important part of the Ying family tradition, and Ying Hua's son, Ying Qianli was an active lay leader in the Catholic Church during the early Republican era. One of the achievement of Ying Hua, in the area of journalism, was the founding of the Ta Kung Pao in Tianjin in 1902.
