Northern Praying Mantis (Chinese: 螳螂拳; Pinyin: tánglángquán; literally "praying mantis fist") is a style of Chinese martial arts, sometimes called Shandong Praying Mantis after its province of origin. It was created by Wang Lang and was named after the praying mantis, an insect thats aggressiveness inspired the style. Shaolin records document that Wang Lang was one of the 18 masters gathered by the Shaolin Abbot Fu Ju, which dates him and Northern Praying Mantis to the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127).

Though small and feeble, the mantis is capable of using its forelegs to subdue animals larger than itself. In combat, the Northern Praying Mantis style mimicks the movements of its namesake insect, particularly the use of the hands in the shape of the "praying mantis hook" (螳螂勾; pinyin: tángláng gōu). Northern Praying Mantis is especially famous for its speed and continuous attacks. Another prominent feature of the style is its complex footwork, borrowed from Monkey Kung Fu.
