"Descendants of the Dragon" (simplified Chinese: 龙的传人; traditional Chinese: 龍的傳人; pinyin: lóng de chuán rén), also translated as "Heirs of the Dragon", is a Chinese song written by Hou Dejian. The song became a nationalistic anthem in the 1980s, and it is commonly regarded as a patriotic song that expresses sentiments of Chinese nationalism.

The song was recorded and released by Lee Chien-Fu (simplified Chinese: 李建复; traditional Chinese: 李建復; pinyin: Lǐ Jiànfù), and Hou himself also recorded the song. It has been covered by other artists, including Lee's nephew Wang Leehom.
