Xiao Guodong (Chinese: 肖国栋; born 10 February 1989) is a Chinese professional snooker player who has won two ranking events. He turned professional in 2007 after winning the Asian Under-21 Championships. He won his first ranking event 17 years after first turning professional at the 2024 Wuhan Open, beating Si Jiahui 10–7 in only the third all-Chinese ranking event final. He also took part in the first ever all-Chinese ranking event final, when he lost 6–10 to Ding Junhui in the 2013 Shanghai Masters. In 2025, he retained his Wuhan Open title, defeating Gary Wilson 10‍–‍9 in the final, becoming only the fourth player in professional snooker history to defend their maiden ranking title, after John Parrott, Mark Allen and Wilson himself.
