Erica Yuen Mi-ming (Chinese: 袁彌明, born 28 September 1980) is a Hong Kong politician, actress, and presenter. A former Miss Hong Kong pageant participant, she was the chairperson of the People Power political party between 2013 and 2016.
Erica Yuen graduated from St. Stephen's College in 1997, and continued her education at Tufts University Distance Learning in Massachusetts, and graduated summa cum laude.
In 2005, Yuen participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant where she was awarded the title of Tourism Ambassador and was named one of the top five finalists on the final night.
Yuen entered Hong Kong politics in 2011, when she co-founded Power Voters, which would later become a coalition member of People Power, with the aim of punishing the Democratic Party for its stance in the 2010 Hong Kong electoral reform. In 2012, Yuen announced that she would enter the Hong Kong Legislative Council election in September that year as a People Power candidate for New Territories East constituency with Raymond Chan Chi-chuen. In preparation for this, she renounced her United States citizenship as required by Hong Kong election law. She was placed second in her party list under the Party-list proportional representation; Ray Chan, who was first on that list, was elected, but Yuen herself, like all other candidates ranked second or below in their party lists, was not.
