Xiang Jingyu (Chinese: 向警予; pinyin: Xiàng Jǐngyǔ; Wade–Giles: Hsiang Ching-yü, September 4, 1895 – May 1, 1928, née Xiang Junxian) was one of the earliest female members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and described by Chairman Mao Zedong as the only female founder of the CCP, widely regarded as a pioneer of the women's movement of China.
Xiang sought to unite the various women's movements in China around women workers and principles of anti-imperialism. She worked to support labor strikes including those which were part of the May Thirtieth Movement.
In 1928, the Kuomintang (KMT) arrested and executed her.
