Chen Yueling (simplified Chinese: 陈跃玲; traditional Chinese: 陳躍玲; pinyin: Chén Yuèlíng; born December 24, 1969 (also reported as April 1, 1968) in Liaoning, China) is now an American race walker, who became the first ever female Olympic Race walking champion in 1992 while competing for China.

She was virtually tied with former Soviet, Unified Team member Alina Ivanova with 200 meters to go.

After a short celebration, Ivanova earned a disqualification, while Chen was awarded her gold medal.

She had done mountain climbing and long-distance running before she started training at the Tieling Sports School in 1985.
