Li Yitong (simplified Chinese: 李艺彤; traditional Chinese: 李藝彤; pinyin: Lǐ Yìtóng; born December 23, 1995 in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China) is a Chinese idol singer. She is a member of Team NII of female idol group SNH48.

Li had developed an interest in manga and Touhou Project game series since her high school days, and during ninth grade, she developed an interest in Cosplay. Prior to joining SNH48, she has also been a huge idol of AKB48, and regards Yuki Kashiwagi as her favorite member.

Li took part in the auditions for second-generation members in mid-2013, before becoming one of the official second-generation members on August 18. With the creation of teams on 11 November, she became one of the 24 members of Team NII. On 2 November, Li missed the "Theater no Megami" stage as she had no prior dancing skills. On 16 November, she participated in SNH48's first major concert, "SNH48 Guangzhou Concert", held in the Guangzhou International Sports Arena.

In 2014, after not performing during public performances, Li decided to write more posts on Sina Weibo, allowing her fans to know her better. On March 19, she wrote a long Weibo post, which caused her to rise in popularity, eventually ranking sixth in the first General Election on July 26. On August 19, she started university at Shanghai International Studies University. On 12 October, the release of SNH48's EP "UZA" saw Li as part of the Senbatsu, and her first music video appearance, which was shot in South Korea in June. She was involved in writing the script for the 14th episode of SNHello, broadcast on Youku, which received over a million views.
