'''Li Xuepeng''' ({{zh|s=李学鹏|p=Lǐ Xuépéng}}; born 18 September 1988) is a Chinese footballer who plays as a left back.
==Club career== Li Xuepeng started his football career when he was promoted to Dalian Shide's first team in the 2007 season. He made his debut for the club on 9 August 2007 in a 2–1 win against Qingdao Jonoon.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://csldata.sports.sohu.com/gameinfo.php?season=2007&gameid=A15101|title=1-2 - 比赛结果-中超数据库-搜狐|publisher=csldata.sports.sohu.com|date=9 August 2007|access-date=4 August 2010}}</ref> Li scored his first goal for the club on 4 November 2007 in a 1–1 draw against Hangzhou Greentown.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://csldata.sports.sohu.com/gameinfo.php?season=2007&gameid=A28190|title=1-1 - 比赛结果-中超数据库-搜狐|publisher=csldata.sports.sohu.com|date=4 November 2007|access-date=3 August 2010}}</ref> This led to a loan to First Division League side Citizen during the end of the 2007 season, making his debut for the club 2 December 2007 in a 3–0 loss against Happy Valley.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hkfa.com/en/match_result.php?match_date=2007-12-02&match_id=2728#2728|title=HKFA|publisher=hkfa.com|date=2 December 2007|access-date=4 August 2010}}</ref> Li would return to Dalian at the start of the 2008 season and play a significantly larger role at Dalian in a very disappointing season which saw the club flirt with relegation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china08.html |title=China 2008 |date=3 April 2009 |access-date=4 August 2010 |url-status=live |website=RSSSF |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100721030528/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/china08.html |archive-date=21 July 2010 }}</ref> At the start of the 2009 season, he would become a vital member of the squad due to his versatility to play in either the midfield or the defense, aiding Dalian to a midtable finish. Li lost his starting role for the club in the 2012 season and only played in three matches the entire season. In January 2013, Li transferred to Dalian Aerbin after Dalian Shide dissolved in the offseason.
