Li Si (; 280 BC – September or October 208 BC) was a Chinese calligrapher, philosopher, politician, and writer of the Qin dynasty. He served as Chancellor (or Prime Minister) from 246 to 208 BC under two rulers: Qin Shi Huang, the king of the Qin state and later the First Emperor of the Qin dynasty; and Qin Er Shi, Qin Shi Huang's eighteenth son and the Second Emperor. Concerning administrative methods, Li Si "indicated that he admired and utilized the ideas of Shen Buhai", repeatedly referring to the technique of Shen Buhai and Han Fei, but regarding law followed Shang Yang.

John Knoblock, a translator of classical Chinese texts, considered Li Si "one of the two or three most important figures in Chinese history". Having a clear vision of universal empire and "one world comprising all Chinese, bringing with universal dominion universal peace", Li Si was "largely responsible for the creation of those institutions that made the Qin dynasty the first universal state in Chinese history".

Li Si assisted the Emperor Shi Huangdi in unifying the laws, governmental ordinances, weights and measures, and standardized chariots, carts, and the characters used in writing... facilitating the cultural unification of China. He "created a government based solely on merit, so that in the empire sons and younger brothers in the imperial clan were not ennobled, but meritorious ministers were", and "pacified the frontier regions by subduing the barbarians to the north and south". He had the weapons of the feudal states melted and cast into musical bells and large human statues, and relaxed taxes and the draconian punishments inherited from Shang Yang.

李斯(前284年 - ),楚国上蔡(今河南省上蔡县西南方)人,是秦朝著名的政治家、文学家和书法家。李斯曾任秦朝左丞相,司马迁著《史记》,将李斯和赵高并写于《李斯列传》。

或说字通古。早年为上蔡郡的小吏,负责掌管文书,后和韩非师从荀子学习帝王之术,后来都成为诸子百家中法家学说的代表人物。李斯学成后进入秦国,为秦文信侯吕不韦的舍人,文信侯很赏识李斯,任他做郎官。后劝说秦王政攻灭东方六国是势之所在,须把握时机而为之,及后被任命为长史。秦王政采纳其计谋,遣谋士持金帛游说山东六国,离间各国君臣,又任命其为客卿。秦王政十年(前237年)由于韩国水工郑国以修筑渠道为名来到秦国做间谍,秦王下令驱逐六国客卿。李斯上《谏逐客书》阻止,被秦王政所采纳,不久官至廷尉。在秦灭六国之战的事业中起了较大作用。

秦统一六国后,李斯与丞相王绾、御史大夫冯劫等议定尊秦王尊号为皇帝。李斯主张郡县制,反对分封制;又主张焚毁民间所收藏诸子百家之书。李斯还参与了秦朝诸多制度建设,对后世影响深远。秦始皇死后,李斯为保身,与赵高陷害秦始皇长子公子扶苏,立秦始皇幼子胡亥为皇帝,后被赵高所害,诛灭三族。
