Qu Shengqing (Chinese: 曲圣卿; Pinyin: Qū Shèngqīng born June 5, 1975) is a Chinese football coach and former international player. As a player, he is well known for his time with Liaoning FC where he won the Golden Boot in the 1999 league season before joining Shanghai Shenhua and winning the 2003 league title with them. He would also move abroad to A-League side Adelaide United before returning to China to end his career with lower sides Nanjing Yoyo and Shenyang Dongjin. Since retiring he has moved into coaching where he is the current manager of the Guangzhou F.C. Reserve team.
Born in Shenyang, China, Qu's first team football club was Liaoning FC. He soon excelled at the club and became one of the top strikers in China. Qu was the top goal scorer in the Chinese league in 1999 with 17 goals. Along with being top scorer Qu was also voted "Mr Soccer of China" for 1999, the award for the top player of the year. Qu joined Shanghai Shenhua in 2000 and scored a total of 38 goals for the club during his fours years there, which included him winning the 2003 league title. Unfortunately in 2013 the Chinese Football Association would revoke the league title after it was discovered the Shenhua General manager Lou Shifang had bribed officials to be bias to Shenhua in games that season.
After a successful trial with Adelaide United in February 2005, Qu was quickly signed by the club in April of the same year. He scored his first goal in the A-League on September 18, 2005 in a 2-1 victory over Perth Glory. Qu soon established himself as a top striker in the A-League. He finished the season with seven goals in 17 appearances for the club.
