Shenzhou 10 (Chinese: 神舟十号; pinyin: Shénzhōu Shíhào) was a manned spaceflight of China's Shenzhou program that was launched on 11 June 2013.

It was China's fifth manned space mission. The mission had a crew of three astronauts: Nie Haisheng, who was mission commander and previously flew on Shenzhou 6; Zhang Xiaoguang, a former PLAAF squadron commander who conducted the rendezvous and docking; and Wang Yaping, the second Chinese female astronaut.

The Shenzhou spacecraft docked with the Tiangong-1 trial space laboratory module on 13 June, and the astronauts performed physical, technological, and scientific experiments while on board. Shenzhou 10 was the final mission to Tiangong 1 in this portion of the Tiangong program.

On 26 June 2013, after a series of successful docking tests, Shenzhou 10 returned to Earth
