Zhong Qixin (born 7 April 1989) is a Chinese former competition speed climber. He is a four-time winner of the IFSC World Championships, taking four consecutive wins between 2007 and 2012. He also won the overall title of the 2015 World Cup.[1] In August 2011, he set the world speed climbing record in 6.26 seconds, which stood until October 2012, when it was broken by Evgenii Vaitcekhovskii [cs].[2]

His 13th and final World Cup victory came in October 2019 in Xiamen, where he missed the world record held by Reza Alipour by just one hundredth of a second with a time of 5.48 seconds.[3] After retiring in 2021, Zhong took over the position as head coach of the Chinese national speed climbing team.

He is married and is the father of twin daughters.[4]
