Michelle Hsiao Au (Chinese: 欧晓瑜^[1]; pinyin: Ōu Xiǎoyú) is an American anesthesiologist and politician from Georgia. Au has served in the Georgia House of Representatives as a Democratic member for District 50 since 2023.^[2] Au previously represented the 48th District in the Georgia State Senate and was the first Asian American elected to that body.^[3][4] In December 2021, Au announced that she would not be running for re-election in Senate District 48 but instead would run for election in Georgia state House District 50 due to the Republican controlled state legislature re-drawing her district.^[5]

In 2011, Au published her book This Won't Hurt a Bit (and Other White Lies),^[6] which according to a review, "exposes the reality of medical education and the irony within the practice of medicine that physicians are human, but our patients want us to be more".^[7]
