Wu Qing (Chinese: 吴晴; pinyin: Wú Qíng; born March 25, 1988) is a Paralympic athlete from China competing in throwing events in the F36 cerebral palsy classification. As of April 2014, Wu holds F36 World Records for shot put,^[1] discus^[2] and javelin.^[3]

Wu began competing in athletics in 2005.^[4] and made her international debut at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, China. There she won gold medals in both the women's F35-38 javelin throw and the F35-36 discus throw event. She also finished second in the women's shot put - F35-36.

At the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, Wu competed in F35-F36 shot put and discus events. In the shot put event, she broke the World Record for her F36 classification; she was awarded bronze behind F35 competitors Mariia Pomazan and Wang Jun who broke the World Record for their own classification.^[5] In the discus throw, Wu set a new F36 world record to win the event.^[6] A scoring error saw Mariia Pomazan initially presented with the gold medal, then being told to return it.^[7][8][9]

Outside of sport, Wu's hobbies include embroidery and listening to music.^[10]
