Ling Zhi (Chinese: 凌智; pinyin: Líng Zhì; born April 6, 1994) is a Chinese curler from Harbin.

Ling represented China at the 2014 World Junior Curling Championships, where his team finished in last place with a winless 0–9 record. In 2013 and 2014, he won back-to-back Pacific-Asia Junior Curling Championships.

In mixed play, Ling competed at the 2017 World Mixed Curling Championship as third for Liu Sijia. The team reached the round of 16, where the Czech Republic eliminated them.

Ling played mixed doubles with partner Yang Ying but now plays with Fan Suyuan. At the 2019 World Mixed Doubles Qualification Event, Yang and Ling teamed up to secure China a spot in the 2020 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, defeating Turkey in the qualification final.
