Wang Baoxiang was a Chinese mystery, science fiction, and wuxia romance novelist who wrote under the pseudonym Wang Dulu. Wang is also known by the courtesy name Xiaoyu.

He is most well known in the West for his series of interlinked novels, collectively referred to as Crane-Iron Series, which includes Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The novel been adapted to film and television several times, most notably the award-winning film adaptation of the same name directed by Ang Lee.

Wang was born in 1909 in Beijing to a poor family of Bannerman background. (His ancestors were ethnic Han Chinese adopted into the Manchu Eight Banners.) He worked as an editor for a newspaper agency, and as a clerk for a merchant association before becoming a writer.
After the Chinese Civil War, Wang was assigned to work as a school teacher by Communist leaders, who labelled him an "old literati". He was forbidden from producing new works. Following his retirement, possibly around 1966, he was labelled a "reactionary literati", thus the Communist Party punitively sentenced him to farm labor.
He died from an unknown illness on 12 February 1977.
