Wong Ling Ching (simplified Chinese: 黄玲青; traditional Chinese: 黃玲青; pinyin: Huáng Língqīng, born 7 October 2003) is a Malaysian badminton player who competes in women's singles.[1] A double bronze medalist at the 2025 SEA Games and a bronze medalist at the 2025 Summer World University Games, she won medals in women's singles at both competitions and contributed to Malaysia's bronze medal in the women's team event at the SEA Games.[2][3] Her individual bronze medal at the 2025 SEA Games ended Malaysia's six-year medal drought in women's singles at the competition.
At senior international level, Wong won the women's singles title at the 2025 Slovenia Open and finished runners-up at the 2025 Malaysia Super 100, marking her first BWF World Tour final appearance. She subsequently reached the semifinals of the 2026 Thailand Masters, a Super 300 tournament.[4][5]
