Su Xiongfeng (Chinese: 苏雄锋 ; born 21 March 1987) is a Chinese track and field athlete who competes in the long jump. He became the Asian champion at the 2011 Asian Championships and was the silver medallist at the 2010 Asian Games. His personal best jump of 8.27 metres is the Asian indoor record.

Born in Shunde District, Guangdong, Su became interested in the long jump around 2002 and took part in high school and university competitions. While attending Huazhong University of Science and Technology, he won the 2007 national universities title. At the 2007 Chinese City Games (China's top junior-level event), he saw off both Zhang Xiaoyi and Li Jinzhe to claim the title with his first ever jump over eight metres (8.07 m).

In 2008 he improved his best by a centimetre, recording a jump of 8.08 m at both the Chinese Olympic Trials (where he was runner-up) and the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix (where he was China's sole medallist). Due to the scheduling of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, that year's Chinese Athletics Championships were held late in October and Su won his first national long jump title in the absence of more experienced rivals. He competed at the 2009 Summer Universiade for Huazhong University and came fourth behind Marcin Starzak of Poland. He represented his province for the first time at the 2009 National Games of China and although he had his best jump of the season there (8.05 m), it was again only enough for fourth place.
