Huang Shengyi (born February 11, 1983), also known as Eva Huang, is a Chinese actress and singer.

Huang was born and raised in Shanghai. Her father was educated in the United States and lived there in the early 1990s, while her mother worked as an editor in a newspaper agency in Shanghai. She graduated from the Beijing Film Academy in 2001.

In 2004, Huang signed a contract with Stephen Chow to play the female lead character, Fong, in his action comedy film Kung Fu Hustle. In August the following year, she ended her contract with Chow's company after appearing in a magazine photo shoot without their consent. Both sides became involved in legal suits in Hong Kong and Shanghai until 2007.

Starting in 2006, Huang worked with China Juli Group on a number of television series, including Tianxian Pei (2007), The Shadow of Empress Wu (2007) and Guangfu Taiji Chuanqi (2010). She joined Emperor Entertainment Group in 2008. In 2009, Huang became the CEO of China Juli Group's Entertainment Media Co., Ltd, drawing a six-figure salary annually.

Huang was to walk with actor Tom Hanks on the red carpet during the 87th Academy Awards on February 22, 2015, but she fainted while having her makeup done before the ceremony and was unable to do so.
