'''Mian Mian''' ({{zh|c=棉棉|p=mián mian}}, born August 28, 1970 in [[Shanghai]]) is a [[Zhonghua Minzu|Chinese]] [[Post 70s Generation]] writer. She writes on China's once-taboo topics and she is a promoter of Shanghai's local music. Her publications have earned her the reputation as China's literary wild child.

Her first novel, ''糖'' (''Candy''), has been translated into English. Her other works include ''每个好孩子都有糖吃'' (''Every good child deserves to eat candy''), a collection of short stories. Her novel ''We Are Panic'' was made into a movie, ''[[Shanghai Panic]]'' (2001), in which she also acted one of the lead roles.

In late 2009, she sued [[Google]] after the company scanned her books for its online library. She demanded {{CNY|61,000}} and a public apology. Google later removed the book from its library.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8433345.stm Google is sued by Chinese author Mian Mian] (BBC)</ref> She appeared in the 2013 documentary ''[[Google and the World Brain]]''.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Debruge|first1=Peter|title=Review: 'Google and the World Brain'|url=http://variety.com/2013/film/markets-festivals/google-and-the-world-brain-1117949159/|accessdate=June 29, 2015|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=February 4, 2013}}</ref>
