Fan Yilin (simplified Chinese: 范忆琳; traditional Chinese: 范憶琳; pinyin: Fàn Yìlín; born 11 November 1999) is a Chinese artistic gymnast. She won the 2015 World title on uneven bars in the first ever four-way tie along with Viktoria Komova, Daria Spiridonova, and Madison Kocian.
Fan's senior career started in 2015. At the Chinese National Championships in May, Fan won gold in uneven bars final, ahead of world champion Huang Huidan. In addition, she won silver with the Shanghai team and placed third on balance beam. She was later named to the Chinese team for the 2015 Asian Championships in Hiroshima, Japan, where she won gold on balance beam, silver with the team, and bronze on uneven bars.
She was selected to compete at the World Championships in Glasgow alongside Shang Chunsong, Wang Yan, Mao Yi, Tan Jiaxin, Chen Siyi, and Zhu Xiaofang (alternate). They won the silver medal behind the United States team. Individually, Fan won gold on uneven bars in the first ever four-way tie along with Viktoria Komova, Daria Spiridonova, and Madison Kocian. "It made me laugh to see four gymnasts with the same score, but I'm happy for all of the other gold medalists," Fan said.
