Liu Xiaodong (né en 1963, province du Liaoning, en Chine du Nord) est un peintre et photographe chinois contemporain de renommée internationale. Il est considéré comme l'une des figures centrales de la « Nouvelle Génération » du Réalisme chinois contemporain, et selon une terminologie voisine comme l'un des peintres néoréalistes chinois. Il se démarque nettement du réalisme-socialiste chinois, dérivé du réalisme socialiste soviétique. Il est marié à une autre peintre néo-réaliste: Yu Hong (née en 1966)[1].
