Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain, also known as Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain, is a wuxia novel by Jin Yong (Louis Cha). It was first serialised between 9 February and 18 June 1959 in the Hong Kong newspaper New Evening Post.
Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain is one of Jin Yong's shortest novels, with only 10 chapters. These are numbered instead of having short phrases or duilian as chapter headings, as was Jin Yong's usual style. This is the chronologically latest of Jin Yong's works, being set in the late 18th-century Qing Dynasty.
A prequel, The Young Flying Fox, was released in 1960.
