魏扶（？ - 850年），字相之，唐朝官员，唐宣宗年间任宰相。

魏扶虽居高位，但作为唐朝官史的两唐书没有他的传，故其家世几无记载。据《新唐书·宰相世系二（魏氏）》，他的祖父叫魏盈，父亲叫魏昌，均无官职。《全唐诗》收入了魏扶的三首诗并对他做了简单介绍，称他在唐文宗大和四年（830年）中了进士。主考官为时任礼部侍郎郑浣。

魏扶曾主管科考，选王凝为进士甲科。唐宣宗大中元年（847年）二月，魏扶在礼部侍郎任上奏称自己今年所放进士三十三人，其中封彦卿、崔琢、郑延休三人都有词艺，为时人所称，都因父兄现居重位而不得中选。诏令翰林学士承旨、户部侍郎韦琮重考。九月，与前宰相潮州司马李德裕素来不和的白敏中、令狐綯、崔铉指使前永宁县尉吴汝纳告发先前会昌四年（844年）淮南节度使李绅杀其弟江都县尉吴湘事，时任御史中丞的魏扶与大理卿卢言、刑部侍郎马植说：「李绅杀无罪之人，李德裕促成其冤，还为此黜退御史（崔元藻），罔上不道。」于是李德裕被贬为崖州司户参军事。二年（848年）十一月，魏扶在兵部侍郎、判户部事任上奏请天下州府钱物、斛斗、文簿都委录事参军专判，仍与长史通判，至交代时具数申奏。三年（849年）四月，魏扶以正议大夫、行兵部侍郎、判户部事、上柱国、钜鹿县开国男、食邑五百户、赐紫金鱼袋被授同中书门下平章事，为实质宰相。他与同僚宰相令狐綯因同为郑浣门生，为报恩，数次张扬郑浣子郑从谠的声誉，使其被提拔为中书舍人。四年（850年）六月，魏扶在宰相任上去世。

魏扶还曾作《对毒药供医登高临宫判》。

李商隐曾作《献侍郎钜鹿公启》《喜舍弟羲叟及第上礼部魏公》。

魏扶之子魏簹字守之，官至刑部侍郎。魏扶的一个女儿嫁给薛崇，封钜鹿郡君。

Wei Fu (魏扶; died July 14, 850), courtesy name Xiangzhi (相之), was an official of the Chinese Tang dynasty, serving as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Xuānzong.

Very little is known about Wei's background despite his high status, as there was no biography for him in the official histories of Tang, the Old Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang. According to the table of the chancellors' family trees in the New Book of Tang, his grandfather was named Wei Ying (魏盈) and his father Wei Chang (魏昌), and neither was listed with any official titles. According to the brief introduction for him in the Quan Tangshi, which collected three poems by him, he passed the imperial examinations in the Jinshi class in 830, during the reign of Emperor Wenzong.

As of 849, during Emperor Xuānzong's reign, Wei was serving as the deputy minister of defense (兵部侍郎, Bingbu Shilang) and the director of taxation, when he was made a chancellor de facto with the designation Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangzhi (同中书门下平章事). He died in 850, while still serving as chancellor.
