In Southern Chinese folklore, the Five Elders of Shaolin (Chinese: 少林五祖; pinyin: Shàolín wǔ zǔ; Jyutping: Siu3 lam4 ng5 zou2) are survivors of the destruction of the Shaolin Monastery by the Qing Dynasty, variously said to have taken place in 1647, in 1674 or in 1732.

The Triad Five Elders
(~1760) The Tiandihui/Hongmen claim that their society was born of an alliance between Ming loyalists and five survivors from the destruction of the Shaolin Temple by the Qing government; forged at the Honghua Ting (Red Flower Pavilion), where they swore to devote themselves to "fan qing fu ming" (反清復明 - "Fan Ching Fuk Ming", "overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming").
The five survivors from the Shaolin temple are called the Triad Five Elders and they are:
- Choi Dak Jung (蔡德忠)
- Fong Daai Hung (方大洪)
- Ma Chiu Hing (馬超興)
- Wu Dak Tai (胡德帝)
- Lei Sik Hoi (李式開)
The Five Family Elders
Sometimes the founders of the five major family styles of Southern Chinese martial arts, all students of Gee Sin, are also called the Five Elders.
