Fengli (simplified Chinese: 风狸; traditional Chinese: 風狸/風貍; pinyin: fēng lí,[a] literally 'wind leopard cat') is a legendary or mythified flying mammal of China, whose descriptions from various sources were collated in the Taiping Yulan encyclopedia (10th century ) and the Bencao gangmu (16th century) compendium of materia medica.

It is called fūri by Japanese sources dating back to the Edo period.
