Chen Ruolin (Chinese: 陈若琳; pinyin: Chén Ruòlín; born 12 December 1992) is a Chinese platform diver and coach. She is a five-time Olympic gold medalist (2008, 2012 and 2016), ten-time World championship medalist (including six golds), nine-time World Cup medalist (eight golds), four-time Asian Games medalist (three golds) and two-time Universiade gold medalist, making her one of the most accomplished female divers in history.[2]

After retiring from the sport in 2016 due to neck injury,[3] Chen became a diving coach in 2021 and has been personally training 2020 Olympic gold medalist Quan Hongchan and multi-FINA world champion Lian Junjie, who have since both won gold medals at the 2024 Summper Olympics in Paris.[4]
