The Dingling were an ancient people who appear in Chinese historiography in the context of the 1st century BCE.
The Dingling are considered to have been an early Turkic-speaking people. They were also proposed to be the ancestors of Tungusic speakers among the later Shiwei people, or are related to Na-Dené and Yeniseian speakers.
