Mandy Wong (born 21 December 1982) is a Hong Kong television actress.
Wong began her television and acting career with her participation in the Miss Hong Kong 2007 beauty pageant, where she was placed among the top 5 finalists. She joined TVB that same year and was part of TVB's graduating acting class of 2008. Wong debuted with a brief appearance in TVB's 2007 sitcom Best Selling Secrets. She later gained recognition as Cheng Siu-man in the 2010 romantic drama Suspects in Love, and has achieved wider fame for her performance in 2012 drama L'Escargot.
Born in Hong Kong, Wong was raised in a single-parent household. She has one older sister Cathy, who is an English teacher at King's Glory Education Centre. Her mother is the owner of a cosmetics shop in Wan Chai.
Following her graduation from The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Wong worked as a flight attendant for three years before participating in the Miss Hong Kong 2007 beauty pageant, in which she was placed among the top 5 finalists. She signed an artiste contract with TVB and her television debut came that same year with an uncredited appearance in the sitcom Best Selling Secrets. She graduated out of TVB's acting class in 2008.
After two years of appearing in dramas as small supporting roles, Wong gained broader public attention with her supporting role in the 2009 comedy-drama, A Chip Off the Old Block. She played So Fung-lin, the bespectacled younger sister of Myolie Wu's character, So Fung-nei. Her performance was positively received by both critics and netizens. Impressed with her character portrayal, producer Poon Ka Tak cast Wong to portray Flora Chan's timid younger sister in the 2010 romantic comedy drama Suspects in Love. To prepare for her role, Wong studied Maggie Cheung's performance in Police Cadet '84.
