Sword of the Yue Maiden, alternatively translated as Yue Maiden's Sword, is a wuxia novelette by Jin Yong (Louis Cha) based on the legend of Yuenü. It was first serialised in January 1970 in the Hong Kong newspaper Ming Pao Evening Supplement. Although this is the last wuxia short work by the author, its historical setting, in the Spring and Autumn period, is chronologically the earliest among Jin Yong's works.
