Gong Zhichao (Chinese : 龚智超，born December 15, 1977) is a female badminton player from the People's Republic of China.
In 1998, she got the sliver in Women's Singles of Badminton Tournament in Bangkok Asian Games, by losing to Kanako Yonekura of Japan in the final.
In 2000, she won the gold in Women's Singles of Badminton Tournament in Sydney Olympic Games, by defeating Camilla Martin of Denmark in the final. However, her victory in the semifinal was not a fair play. The Chinese Team made a decision that Gong should go into the final, but not Ye, Zhaoying, another player from China, because Gong had a better chance to defeat Martin at that time. She also won 2 open women's singles titles in All England Open, Malaysia Open and Japan Open.
