'''Liu Dalin''', also sometimes '''Dalin Liu''' or '''Ta-lin Liu''', ([[Chinese Language|Chinese]]:刘达临,born c. [[1932]]) is a retired professor of [[sociology]] at [[Shanghai University]] who pioneered the field of [[sexology]] in [[China]].
From [[1989]]-[[1990]], he helped conduct a nation-wide survey on sexual behavior and attitudes in China, not unlike the [[Kinsey Report]] in the [[United States]]. A report on the survey's outcomes was first published in [[1992]] in [[Shanghai]]; in [[1997]] Liu published the English edition ''Sexual Behavior in Modern China'' (ISBN 0-8264-0886-9). Also in [[1997]], he opened China's first [[sex museum]] in Shanghai; it has since moved to [[Tong Li, Suzhou]].
Liu won the [[Magnus Hirschfeld Medal]] for his research in sexology in [[1994]].
Liu published several books on the history of erotica in China:
*''History of Erotica in China'' (2004), People's Daily Press, ISBN 7-80153-776-9 (in Chinese)
*''Pictorial History of Erotica''.
