Tiffany Chin (Traditional Chinese: 陳婷婷, Simplified Chinese: 陈婷婷 pinyin: Chén Tíngtíng , b. October 3, 1967) is an American figure skater who grew up in San Diego, California. She dominated the junior circuit in ice skating prior to her Olympic career. Chin made the United States Winter Olympic team in 1984 where she finished fourth at Sarajevo. Her coaches include Frank Carroll, John Nicks, Don Laws and Janet Champion. Her competitive career was ended prematurely due to a muscle imbalance affecting her legs, arms, and hips.
After her amateur skating career ended, Chin became a coach for ice skaters, including Beatrisa Liang.
