Li Qian (Chinese: 李倩; pinyin: Lǐ Qiàn, born 13 February 1989[4]) is a Chinese para table tennis player who has won four gold medals and one silver medal from three Paralympic Games (2008, 2012, and 2016[5]). She has won international team titles with Liu Jing.[1]

Like many of her teammates, Li was a polio victim from Pizhou who attended New Hope Center as a child. That's where coach Heng Xin developed her into a star.[6]
