Jing Yanguang, courtesy name Hangchuan, was a general and official of the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period state Later Jin. He was instrumental in the enthronement of Later Jin's second emperor Shi Chonggui, therefore became a powerful chancellor early in Shi Chonggui's reign. Under his advocacy, Shi Chonggui turned away from the peaceful, submissive relationship that Later Jin had with its northern neighbor Liao, became confrontational against Liao; the adversarial relationship continued after Jing's removal as chancellor, such that Later Jin was destroyed by a Liao invasion. Emperor Taizong took Jing captive, intending to deliver him to Liao proper, but Jing committed suicide. Jing Yanguang was born during the reign of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, his family was from Shan Prefecture, but all, said about his family in traditional sources is that his father Jing Jian was a capable archer and trained Jing Yanguang to be one as well. During the time of Tang's successor state Later Liang, Zhu Youhui the Prince of Shao, a nephew to Later Liang's founding emperor Zhu Quanzhong, served as the military governor of Zhenguo Circuit.

He took Jing to be an officer under him. After Zhu Youhui was accused of plotting a rebellion and was put under house arrest, Jing fled to avoid arrest, he served under Yin Hao, who commanded the army at Hua Prefecture. Yin was impressed with him sufficiently to recommend him to be transferred to the Later Liang imperial guard corps at Bian Prefecture. Jing served under the prominent general Wang Yanzhang in resisting the army of Li Cunxu, the prince of Later Liang's archrival Jin. After Li Cunxu claimed the title of emperor of a new state of Later Tang and launched a surprise attack into Later Liang territory, Wang made a futile attempt to try to stop him at Zhongdu. Wang's army was crushed, Wang was captured and executed after refusing to surrender. Jing suffered several serious wounds during this battle, was captured by the Later Tang army and taken by them to Daliang, which fell to Li Cunxu. After Later Liang's fall, Jing Yanguang returned to serve in the army at Bian. In 927, by which time Li Cunxu's adoptive brother Li Siyuan was emperor, Li Siyuan decided to visit Bian.

Then-military governor of Xuanwu, Zhu Shouyin, believed that Li Siyuan was intending to act against him, but was defeated, he committed suicide. Many of Zhu's officers, including Jing, were set to be executed; these executions were set to be carried out by Li Siyuan's son-in-law Shi Jingtang. When Shi saw Jing, however, he took pity on Jing, secretly released him and told him to flee. After Shi became the military governor of Hedong Circuit, Jing came to serve under him as a "guest general"; when Shi rebelled against then-emperor Li Congke in 936, Li Congke sent the general Zhang Jingda to siege Hedong's capital Taiyuan. Jing participated in the city's defense and had much accomplishment during the siege, during which Zhang but was never able to, capture the city. Subsequently, Emperor Taizong of Later Tang's northern rival Khitan Empire came to Shi's rescue and defeated Zhang, he declared Shi the emperor of China. Shi Jingtang commissioned Jing Yanguang as the commander of his infantry, he was given the honorary titles of acting Situ and military prefect of Guo Prefecture.

He was given the honorary titles of acting Taibao and military governor of Ningjiang Circuit. In 939, Jing was sent out of then-capital Daliang to serve as the military governor of Yicheng Circuit. In 940, he was transferred to Baoyi Circuit. In 941, he was recalled to serve as the disciplinary officer for the imperial guards, he was made the military governor of Heyang Circuit.
