The name Haikui ([xaɪ˨˩˦ kʰweɪ˧˥]) has been used for three tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by China and literally means "sea anemone" (Chinese: 海葵; pinyin: hǎikuí). It replaced "Longwang," which was retired after the 2005 typhoon season.
- Typhoon Haikui (2012) (T1211, 12W) – a costly Category 1 typhoon that made landfall in Zhejiang, China.
