Jing Tsu (Chinese: 石靜遠; pinyin: Shí Jìngyuǎn;[1] born 1973) is a Taiwanese-American author and professor of East Asian studies.

[1][2] In primary school, Tsu was a troublesome student; in a 2023 interview, she recalled her teachers referring to her as "female tiger" due to the lack of effect punishment had on her.

Tsu's mother, who had previously been a teacher, taught her and her siblings Chinese calligraphy and writing, and drove them to Albuquerque for weekly piano lessons.

[9] In a review for The New York Times, Deirdre Mask praised Tsu's ability to weave linguistic and historical fact in a colorful manner.
