Fan Kexin (Chinese: 范可新,, born 19 September 1993) is a Chinese short track speed skater. She has been in the Chinese national team since 2010. She won two silver medals on 500 meters and 3000 meters relay in 2010 ISU World Junior Championships. In 2011, she won her first gold medal of World Championships on 500 meters, and another gold medal on 3000 meters relay. She won a gold medal in the 3000 m relay event and a silver medal in the 500 m event in 2012.

In 2014 Winter Olympics, she had been regarded as the favorite in 500 meters before the game, since she was 2nd on that distance in 2013–2014 season while the strongest Chinese skater Wang Meng was injured and couldn't participate. However, she fell down in the second lap in the semifinals and ranked 5th at last. She won a silver medal eight days later in 1000 meters.
