Qiao Qiao (Chinese: ; pinyin: Qiáo Qiáo; born c. 1980) is a Chinese singer.

The first openly lesbian[1] artist in China, she released her first single called "Ai Bu Fen" (爱不分), which translates as "Love does not discriminate", in 2006. A video clip for the song showed two ballerinas in love, but social conventions would not allow them to kiss. The government "made no effort to suppress the song".[2] She runs a bar in Beijing that hosts a women's night on Saturdays.[2]

She was the first guest on Tong Xing Xiang Lian (Gay Connections),[3] a one-hour video webcast that debuted in 2007 on PhoenixTV.com.[4]
