Hsieh Su-Wei (traditional Chinese: 謝淑薇, born January 4, 1986 in Taipei) is a Taiwanese professional female tennis player. Hsieh won the women's gold in tennis at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar. Her career high rank was #90, achieved on February 4, 2008.
Su-Wei Hsieh started 2008 by winning three matches to qualify for the Australian Open, where she won her first ever main draw Grand Slam match defeating Klara Zakopalova in three sets. In the second round, she beat the No.19 seed Sybille Bammer 6-2 6-0, and defeated Aravane Rezai in the third round to become first Taiwanese player to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam. She then lost in the fourth round to the World No.1, and No.1 seed Justine Henin in straight sets. The result would lift her into the Top 100 for the first time.
In March, Hsieh played at Indian Wells, losing in the first round to Elena Vesnina in three sets. A week later, she lost again, this time in the first round of qualifying, to Tatiana Poutchek in Miami. These two defeats saw her ranking fall to 116.
At the end of April, Hsieh entered the ITF tournament in Incheon as the first seed, and won the tournament, defeating Chinese Yanze Xie in the final 7-5 6-7 6-4. As a result of this win, Hsieh's ranking rose to 99.
