A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers is a novel by Chinese-born British writer Xiaolu Guo, published in 2007 by Doubleday.

A young Chinese woman, Zhuang, arrives in London on a student visa and soon falls in love with an English sculptor.

The early chapters of the book are narrated in broken English, and gradually the language improves.

CBC Books called it "a novel of language and love" and noted that "with sparkling wit, Xiaolu Guo has created an utterly original novel about identity and the cultural divide".

"[3] Writing in The Guardian, Carole Cadwalladr criticised the structure of the book, finding the broken English narration unconvincing.
