Yunying (1913–1992), better known as Jin Yunying, was a Chinese princess of Manchu descent. She was the daughter of Zaifeng (Prince Chun) and Youlan, and a younger sister of Puyi, the Last Emperor of China. She was married to Runqi, the younger brother of Puyi's first wife, Wanrong.

Yunying's original family name was Aisin Gioro; she is referred to as "Yunying" because Manchus were usually referred to by their given names only. Like other members of the Aisin Gioro family (e.g. her brother Puren (Jin Youzhi)), she changed her family name to Jin, which means "gold" in the Chinese language just like "Aisin" in the Manchu language.

Yunying's courtesy name, Ruixiu, was given to her by her father, Zaifeng. Her art name, Binghao, was given to her by her brother, Puyi. She is also sometimes referred to as Jin Ruixiu.

Reginald Johnston, the Scottish academic and diplomat who tutored Puyi, gave Yunying an English name, Lily.

Yunying was born in the Manchu Aisin-Gioro clan in 1913 as the third daughter of Zaifeng (Prince Chun) and his first wife, Youlan. She was also a full sister of Puyi, the Last Emperor of China. She had three other full siblings (one brother and two sisters) apart from Puyi, and six half siblings (two brothers and four sisters). By the time of her birth, the Manchu-led Qing dynasty had already been overthrown by the Xinhai Revolution and her brother, Puyi, who was still a child then, had been forced to abdicate. However, the former imperial family were still allowed to live in the Forbidden City, where Yunying was born. She was referred to as "Third Princess" (三格格) in her childhood and was Puyi's favourite sister. In November 1924, the warlord Feng Yuxiang took control of Beijing and forced Puyi and his family out of the Forbidden City. They moved to Tianjin's Heping District. In Tianjin, Yunying and her siblings learnt the Japanese language and played tennis.
