Wang Ju-Rong (1928-2006) (Xiao'erjing: وْا ﮐُﻮْ -ژْﻮ) was a Chinese-Muslim martial artist and Wushu professor in the Shanghai Institute of Physical Education.

A longtime promoter of Wushu, a teacher, an organizational officer, and a Wushu event-announcer, she was the first woman who was a certified judge of national ranking for both Wushu and Archery. Wang was also the founder of the Flying Rainbow Fan art.

Wang Ju-Rong was the daughter of Wang Zi-Ping, a renowned figure in Chinese Martial Arts and Traditional Medicine. In 1955 Wang married Wu Chengde, who was a student of her father, a doctor and a professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She had three daughters Helen Wu (XiaoRong), Grace Wu (XiaoGo) and Wu Xiaoping.

Wang began her Wushu training at age five studying with her father Wang Zi-Ping. She learned Tan Tui, Chaquan, Huaquan, Bajiquan, Pao Chuan and Taijiquan (T'ai chi ch'uan). As a child Wang would train six hours a day, including training Pai Dai (body striking) with her mostly male classmates. Though it was a peculiar request, her father also allowed her to learn the Kwan Do (heavy broadsword) as her first weapon. In 1952 Wang graduated from Aurora University in Shanghai.
