The Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE, {{zh|s=中国工程院|p=Zhōngguó Gōngchéng Yuàn}}) is the national academy of the People's Republic of China for engineering. It was established in 1994 and is an institution of the State Council of China. The CAE and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are often referred to together as the "Two Academies". Its current president is Li Xiaohong.

Since its establishment, CAE has provided consultancy to the State on key programs, planning, guidelines, and policies at the request of government ministries and commissions. In response to requests from central and local government ministries, the academy has mobilized its members to conduct surveys, offer strategic opinions, and make proposals. These projects have been instrumental in enhancing member participation in the State's major decision-making processes. Additionally, members have regularly and actively contributed their insights and suggestions based on their experience, perspectives, and awareness of international engineering science and technology trends.
