Jin Yun Qiao or Chin Yun Ch'iao is a seventeenth-century Chinese novel by an unknown writer under the pseudonym Qingxin Cairen. The literary Chinese tale is widely popular in Vietnam where it was known as "Kim Vân Kiều," and then became the original source on which the vernacular Vietnamese epic poem The Tale of Kieu is based.
