Ling Xiaoyu (Chinese: 凌 曉雨; pinyin: Líng Xiǎoyǔ; Japanese: リン・シャオユウ; Hepburn: Rin Shaoyū) is a player character from the Tekken fighting game franchise by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Following her debut in Tekken 3 (1997), she has appeared in every subsequent game in the series. Xiaoyu is a cheerful Chinese teenager who is the potential love interest to the series' main character, Jin Kazama, while trying to interfere with the affairs of the increasingly corrupt Mishima family. She has appeared on official Tekken merchandise and alternate media such as the 2011 animated feature film Tekken: Blood Vengeance, in addition to appearances in many Bandai Namco crossover games, and has received critical and public reception for factors such as her personality, sex appeal, and representation of a strong female character in video games.

A sixteen-year-old Chinese martial artist, Ling Xiaoyu was tutored by her elderly relative, Wang Jinrei, at a young age; he believed that she could achieve true greatness, yet was frustrated by her flippant attitude. While vacationing with her family in Hong Kong, she notices a company yacht owned by the Mishima Zaibatsu. Aware of the corporation's worldwide influence, she boldly stows away on the vessel in hopes of meeting Heihachi Mishima and making her dream of owning an amusement park reality. However, she is discovered by Heihachi’s personal security, the Tekken Force, but when Heihachi arrives after being summoned, all his men are seen beaten and scattered across the deck. During the chaos, Xiaoyu then threatens to assault Heihachi if he does not accept her challenge. He agrees to build the park should she win the company-sponsored King of Iron Fist tournament. Xiaoyu moves into the Mishima Zaibatsu's Japan complex and enrolls at the Mishima Polytechnic School, where she befriends Miharu Hirano and Heihachi's grandson Jin. Heihachi additionally teaches her trained giant panda, simply named "Panda", to fight so he is able to serve as Xiaoyu's bodyguard. This encourages Xiaoyu to view Heihachi as something of a grandfather figure.
