Li Jing (c. 916 – 961), originally Xu Jingtong, also known by his temple name Yuanzong, is the second ruler (sometimes called Zhongzhu "Middle Ruler") of imperial China's Southern Tang state during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

He rules from 943 until his death.

During Li Jing's earlier reign, he expands Southern Tang's borders by extinguishing a few smaller neighboring states: Yin In 945, Min in 946, and Chu in 951.

However, the warfare also exhausts the wealth of the country, leaving it ill-prepared to resist the Later Zhou Dynasty invasion in 956.

Forced to cede all prefectures north of the Yangtze River, he also has to relinquish his title as emperor and accept Later Zhou's overlordship in 958, and later Song Dynasty's overlordship after 960 when Song succeeds Later Zhou.
