Lu Li, born in Changsha, Hunan on August 30, 1976, is a Chinese gymnast.

Lu made the Chinese national team in late 1991. In April 1992, just a few months before the Barcelona Games, she made her international debut at the World Championships in Paris, where her highly innovative uneven bars routine caught the attention of the gymnastics world.

Lu is best known for her gold medal on the uneven bars in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. She won this with a perfect 10, which she achieved the same night as Lavinia Milosovici also scored a perfect 10. Lu li and Lavinai Milosovici remain the last two people to score perfect 10s in Olympic competition to date. Lu Li also won a silver on the beam in the same games. This makes Lu li China's second most successful female Olympic gymnast after Liu Xuan.
