Duan Jingli (born 8 March 1989) is a Chinese competitive rower.

Duan was born in 1989. Initially a volley ball player, she did not grow tall enough to make China's national team and on advice by her parents, she took up rowing in 2003 instead.[1]

Duan competes in the single sculls. She first competed at World Championship level in 2010 on Lake Karapiro in New Zealand, where she came in eights place.[2] She won a bronze medal at the 2014 World Rowing Championships at Bosbaan, Amsterdam in the Netherlands.[3] At the 2015 World Rowing Championships at Lac d'Aiguebelette, Aiguebelette in France, she achieved the same result.[4]

She competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, in the women's single sculls, and again won bronze.[5][6] She was portrayed as FISA's Athlete of the Month in October 2017.[1]

Duan got engaged during 2017.[1]
