The name Haiyan has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by China and means petrel.

  • Typhoon Haiyan (2001) (Maring), a storm of the 2001 Pacific typhoon season, which hit Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands
  • Tropical Storm Haiyan (2007), a tropical cyclone initially showing subtropical characteristics
  • Typhoon Haiyan (2013) (Yolanda), an extremely powerful tropical cyclone causing catastrophic destruction in the Philippines

The name Haiyan was retired after the 2013 season. Due to extensive damage and high death toll, Bailu was chosen to replace the name Haiyan for future seasons.
