Chin-Lung Hu (Chinese: 胡金龍; pinyin: Hú Jīnlóng; born February 2, 1984) is a retired Taiwanese professional baseball shortstop. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets, and in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the EDA Rhinos/Fubon Guardians and the Uni-President Lions. He was the fifth player — and first infielder — from Taiwan to play in MLB. His last name (along with that of fellow Taiwanese Fu-Te Ni, formerly of the Detroit Tigers) is the shortest in MLB history.
