Ceracris kiangsu is a species of grasshoppers in the subfamily Oedipodinae, sometimes called the yellow-spined bamboo locust. It occurs in Indo-China and southern China, where it may become a locally significant agricultural pest. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Mud-puddling behaviour has been noted: these insects are attracted to the sodium and ammonium ions in human urine. Overwintering as eggs occurs for up to nine months prior to the grasshoppers hatching.
