Fengshen (Chinese: 东风风神, Dōngfēng Fēngshén) is an automobile marque owned by the Chinese automaker Dongfeng Motor Corporation Passenger Vehicle Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor. It was launched in July 2009.

The first Fengshen production model, an A-class four-door sedan called the Fengshen S30, was unveiled at the Auto Shanghai motor show in April 2009 and went on sale in China in July 2009.
