Chen Xiaocui[a] (25 September 1902 – 1 July 1967) was a Chinese poet, writer, and painter who composed classical Chinese poetry, short stories, novels, and plays, translated Western literature, and created traditional Chinese paintings. She was a founder of the Chinese Women's Calligraphy and Painting Association. After the People's Republic of China was founded, Chen became one of the first professors at Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy [zh] in 1960 but died by suicide in 1967, a year into the Cultural Revolution. The major collection of her poetry is Cuilou Yincao (Chinese: 翠樓吟草).
