Zhao Yingqi ({{zh|c=|p=Zhào Yīngqí|j=Ziu6 Jing1 Cai4}}; Vietnamese: Triệu Anh Tề, ? – 115 BC) was the son of Zhao Mo and the third ruler of the kingdom of Nanyue. His rule began in 122 BC and ended with his death in 115 BC.

After the Western Han dynasty aided Nanyue in fending off an invasion by Minyue, Zhao Mo sent his son Yingqi to the Western Han court, where he joined the emperor's guard (宿衛, Sù wèi).{{sfn|Amies|Ban|2020|pp=34-35}} Zhao Yingqi married an ethnic Han woman from the Jiu (樛) family of Handan, who gave birth to his second son, Zhao Xing.

Zhao Yingqi behaved without any scruples and committed murder on several occasions. When his father died in 122 BC, he refused to visit the Han emperor to ask for his leave as he feared that he would be arrested and punished for his behavior. Yingqi died in 115 BC and was succeeded by his second son, Zhao Xing (under the regency of his mother), rather than the eldest, Zhao Jiande. Zhao Xing was eventually overthrown and killed by Han forces.{{sfn|Watson|1993|p=212}}
