Yuan Shu Chi (Chinese: 袁叔琪, pinyin: Yuán Shúqí, Wade-Giles: Yüan Shu-ch'i) (born 9 November 1984) is an athlete from the Republic of China. She competes in archery.

Yuan represented the Republic of China (as Chinese Taipei) at the 2004 Summer Olympics. She placed 6th in the women's individual ranking round with a 72-arrow score of 658. In the first round of elimination, she faced 59th-ranked Kateryna Palekha of Ukraine. Yuan defeated Palekha 162-158 in the 18-arrow match to advance to the round of 32. In that round, she faced 27th-ranked Polish archer Małgorzata Sobieraj, defeating her 158-149. Yuan then defeated 43rd-ranked Reena Kumari of India 166-148, advancing to the quarterfinals.

In the quarterfinals, Yuan faced Yun Mi Jin of Korea, defeating the 3rd-ranked archer 107-105 in the 12-arrow match to end the Korean team's hopes of sweeping the medals. Yuan advanced to the semifinals, where she was defeated by Korean Lee Sung Jin 104-98, moving Yuan to the bronze medal match. In the final 12-arrow match, she lost by one point to 21st-ranked Alison Williamson of Great Britain, finishing just out of the medals at 4th place in women's individual archery.

Yuan was also a member of the team that won the bronze medal for Chinese Taipei in the women's team archery competition.
