Leng Xueyan (Chinese: 冷雪艳; born 1972) is a Chinese former track and field athlete who competed in the 400 metres hurdles. She was the Asian Games champion in 1994 and runner-up at the Asian Athletics Championships in 1993. She set a personal best of 54.52 seconds in 1993. She was also an Asian Games gold medalist in the 4×400 metres relay.

Leng's first international medal came at the 1990 Asian Junior Athletics Championships held in Beijing. She won the 400 m hurdles gold medal with a time of 57.79 seconds. This stood as the championship record for over a decade, finally being broken by another Chinese hurdler, Wang Xing, in 2004. She emerged as a senior athlete at the 1993 Chinese National Games with a performance of 54.52 seconds to claim third place in a race won in an Asian record by Han Qing. This time ranked Leng tenth in the world for the event that season.

Her senior international debut followed a few months later at the 1993 Asian Athletics Championships. At the competition in Manila she led the Chinese challenge in the 400 m hurdles and took the silver medal behind Kazakhstan's Natalya Torshina. In 1994 she won her first and only national title at the Chinese Athletics Championships with a time of 56.28 seconds. This gained her selection for China at the Asian Games later that year.
