Yuan Zai, courtesy name Gongfu, formally Viscount Huang of Xuchang and then Viscount Chengzong of Xuchang, was an official of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, serving as a chancellor during the reigns of Emperor Suzong and Emperor Daizong, becoming particularly powerful during the middle of Emperor Daizong's reign.
