The seals of the Qing dynasty refered to the collection of seals specifically made for the emperors of the Qing dynasty, who ruled the dynasty from 1636 to 1912, either to seals for the state, governors, or gifts to other rulers in this period.

For more than two-hundred seventy years of its existence, the Qing government had created twenty five seals. There are four seals that carved and used by the Qing emperor, The Seal of the Great Qing (Chinese: 大清國寶; pinyin: Dà qīng guóbǎo), The Seal of the Great Qing Emperor (Chinese: 大清皇帝之寶; pinyin: Dà qīng huángdì zhī bǎo), The Great Seal of the Great Qing Empire (Chinese: 大清帝國之璽; pinyin: Dà Qīng dìguó zhī xǐ), and the The Seal of the Emperor of the Great Qing Empire (Chinese: 大清帝國皇帝之寶; pinyin: Dà qīng dìguó huángdì zhī bǎo). Of these, the Great Seal of the Great Qing Empire, became in the official use that replaced the lacking Heirloom Seal of the Realm, the original imperial seal of China since the Qin dynasty.
