Mitos penciptaan Tionghoa

Mitos penciptaan Tionghoa adalah penjelasan simbolik soal cikal bakal alam semesta, bumi dan kehidupan. Dalam mitologi Tionghoa, istilah "[[mitos kosmogonik" atau "mitos asal-usul" lebih akurat keitmbang "mitos penciptaan", karena sangat sedikit cerita yang melibatkan deitas pencipta atau kehendak ilahi. Mitos penciptaan Tionghoa secara mutlak berbeda dari tradisi-tradisi monoteistik dengan satu versi terotoritasi, seperti mitos penciptaan Kitab Kejadian Yudeo-Kristen: karya klasik Tionghoa memuat mitos-mitos asal-usul yang beragam dan berseberangan.
