Chiang Hsiao-yung (traditional Chinese: 蔣孝勇; simplified Chinese: 蒋孝勇; pinyin: Jiǎng Xiàoyǒng; also known as Eddie Chiang; October, 1948 – December 22, 1996) was a politician of the Republic of China.

His mother was Faina Ipatyevna Vakhreva, also known as Chiang Fang-liang. He had two older brothers, Hsiao-wen and Hsiao-wu, and one older sister, Hsiao-chang. He also had two half-brothers, Winston Chang and John Chiang, with whom he shared the same father.

After a brief political career in the Kuomintang in 1988, he emigrated to Canada with his family. In 1996, he died in Taiwan at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital as a result of esophageal cancer, aged 48. He was survived by his wife Chiang Fang Chi-yi and three sons.
