Syaoran (小狼, Shaoran^?) is a fictional character and protagonist in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, a manga series written and illustrated by Clamp. Syaoran is introduced as a young archaeologist who is in love with Sakura, his childhood friend and the princess from the Kingdom of Clow. When Sakura's memories are scattered throughout parallel dimensions, Syaoran goes on a quest to recover them, at the cost of Sakura never remembering him. Later in the series, Syaoran is revealed to be a clone created by Fei-Wang Reed—the sorcerer who caused Sakura to lose her memories. As a seal from his original self placed on the clone's body breaks, Syaoran becomes one of the series' antagonists, moving according to Fei-Wang's will. Syaoran has featured in other works by Clamp, including the manga xxxHolic and the drama CD series Holistuba.

Syaoran's character is based on Syaoran Li, a character from Clamp's Cardcaptor Sakura manga and had several changes to appeal to the series' demographic. The character has been well received by readers of the series, placing high in popularity polls from Tsubasa and manga and anime series in general. He also received positive comments by manga and anime publications. Syaoran's role as an antagonist has also received positive comments; some writers use nicknames to differentiate his antagonistic self from his original self, often calling him evil.
