Gui E (1478–1531) , courtesy name Zishi, art names Jianshan and Gushan, was a Chinese scholar-official during the Ming dynasty. In the 1520s, he gained favor with the Jiajing Emperor by supporting him in the Great Rites Controversy. This led to Gui E being appointed as chancellor of the Hanlin Academy, followed by successive appointments as minister of justice, rites, personnel, and grand secretary.
