Wang Changling (Chinese: 王昌齡; pinyin: Wáng Chānglíng; 698–756) was a major Tang dynasty poet.

He was originally from Taiyuan in present-day Shanxi province, according to the editors of the Three Hundred Tang Poems, although other sources claim that he was actually from Jiangning near modern-day Nanjing.

When Lüqiu later was sentenced to death by another official Zhang Hao (張鎬), he pleaded for mercy, citing the fact that he had kin to take care of.

[2][3] He is best known for his poems describing fictional battles in the frontier regions of western China.

He also wrote an homage to the Princess Pingyang, Lady Warrior of the early Tang dynasty.
