Wu Shuijiao (simplified Chinese: 吴水娇; traditional Chinese: 吳水娇; pinyin: Wú Shuǐjiāo; born 19 June 1992) is a female Chinese track and field athlete who competes in hurdling. Her personal best for the 100 metres hurdles is 12.93 seconds, set in 2013. Wu was the Chinese champion in the event in 2012 and 2013.
She was the 2010 Asian Junior champion and won her first senior title at the 2012 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships.

Wu was recruited to begin training in hurdling when she was a fifth-grade student in elementary school in Doumen District, Zhuhai. As a teenager, she won three straight national junior (under-20) titles from 2008 to 2010. At the 11th Chinese National Games in 2009 she set a personal best time of 13.67 seconds and was a finalist in the event, as well as placing fourth in the 4×100 metres relay with her native province, Guangdong. Her first international medals came at the 2010 Asian Junior Athletics Championships: she claimed the 100 m hurdles title at the 2010 Asian Junior Athletics Championships, winning by almost half a second, and also helped China to the silver medals in the 4×100 m relay. In her last race of the season, she set a new best of 13.62 seconds to place fifth at the Chinese Athletics Championships.
