"Tu che di gel sei cinta" ("You who are girdled with ice") is a soprano aria from act 3, scene 1, of Puccini's 1926 opera Turandot. It is sung by Liù under torture, prior to her suicide. The words were written by Puccini himself while waiting for librettists Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni to deliver the next part of the libretto. When the librettists read them, they decided that they could not do better than that. In their work on Turandot, Ashbrook and Powers suggest that Puccini's failure to complete the opera much beyond this point resulted mainly from inadequate dramatic build-up for Turandot's last-minute change of heart combined with an overly successful treatment of the secondary character (i.e. Liù).

L'aria rappresenta un punto chiave della composizione, il massimo contrasto fra Turandot e Liù, le due voci di soprano e protagoniste femminili che incarnano opposti sentimenti. e ipotizzano che l'incompletezza dell'opera, principalmente dopo questo punto, sia da attribuirsi all'inadeguata costruzione drammatica della trama, l'accostamento tra il duro trattamento riservato ai personaggi secondari e il repentino cambio radicale di sentimenti della principessa all'ultimo minuto.
