Wang Qingsong (born 1966) is a Chinese photographer.

He was born in Daqing, China in 1966, and grew up in Hubei. He studied at the Sichuan Academy of Art. He moved to Beijing in 1993. On his background, he said, "I think there are many regional distinctions that I have incorporated into my art. For example, being born in Heilongjiang Province, I remember a lot of Soviet tanks going around when I was three. At that time, China had a confrontation with the Soviet Union. When we moved to Hubei Province, many people were assigned there to work on an oil field that used to be a swamp. In Sichuan, I was in one of the most populous cities in the world and the most important memories were of all the itinerant peasant workers from Chongqing. Then, in 1993, the huge urbanization strive in Beijing also impacted my art. All of these experiences have given me a lot of inspiration."
