Liu Yunqiao (劉雲樵, 1909 - January 24, 1992) was a Chinese Army Colonel and a martial artist from the Republic of China. He was born in Jibeitou Village, Cangzhou, Hebei Province and is most famous for his martial arts prowess. He was a closed-door disciple of martial artist Li Shuwen and was proficient in various martial arts, mainly Bajiquan.

He established the Wutan Martial Arts Promotion Center (武壇國術推廣中心, also referred to simply as "Wutan"), the "Bajiquan Association" (八極拳協會), "Jianyi Association" (劍藝協會)[b], and a few other martial arts institutions. The associated groups have spread all over the world and contributed a lot to the promotion of Chinese martial arts.[citation needed]
