Qiu Ying (Chinese: ??; pinyin: Qi?Ying; Wade-Giles: Ch'iu Ying) was a Chinese painter who specialized in the gongbi brush technique.

Qiu Ying's courtesy name was Shifu (??); and his pseudonym was Shizhou (??). He was born to a peasant family in Taicang (?? - now Jiangsu Province) and studied painting under Zhou Chen in Suzhou.

Though Suzhou's Wu School encouraged painting in ink washes; Qiu Ying also painted in the green-and-blue style. He painted with the support of wealthy patrons; creating images of flowers; gardens; religious subjects; and landscapes in the fashions of the Ming dynasty.

He incorporated different techniques into his paintings; and acquired a few wealthy patrons. His talent and versatility allowed him to become regarded as one of the Four Masters of the Ming dynasty. Pictures From History
