Guan Wei (b. 1957, Beijing) is an artist who currently lives and works in Australia and Beijing.

Following his graduation from the Department of Fine Arts at the Capital Normal University (Beijing, 1986), Guan worked as a painter and high school art teacher. In 1988, he was invited to organize an exhibition at the apartment of Nicholas Jose, the Cultural Counselor of the Australian Embassy in China at that time.
