Chen Xiefen (1883–1923), was a Chinese feminist and journalist, regarded as one of the first feminists and female journalists in China. A member of a progressive elite family, she published Nubao (1899–1903), the second women's paper in China after Nuxuebao (1898). She spoke for women's education and economic independence.

After her paper was banned in 1903, she emigrated to Japan, where she founded a revolutionary group for female Chinese students in Japan with Qiu Jin and Lin Zhongsu.
