Candida Xu or Candida Su[1] (Chinese: 許徐甘弟大; pinyin: Xǔ-Xú Gāndìdà; Wade–Giles: Hsü3-Hsü2 Kan1-ti4-ta4; French: Candida Hiù;[2] September 4, 1607 – July 24, 1680), was a Chinese Catholic who lived in late Ming and early Qing China. She has been called "arguably the most influential Chinese Christian woman of the seventeenth century."[3] She is also, according to records, likely the first Chinese woman who knows Latin.
