Priscilla Leung Mei-fun SBS JP (Chinese: 梁美芬; born 18 November 1960, Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong Legislative Councillor, representing the Kowloon West constituency since 2008. She is also a member of Kowloon City District Council.
She began her career in the China department at the international law firm Johnson Stokes & Master. She is a barrister and an associate professor at the City University of Hong Kong's School of Law, where her husband, Wang Guiguo, was the Dean. She has taught at the School of Law for the past 24 years and specialises in Chinese Law, Hong Kong Basic Law and conflict of laws between mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Leung has been politically active and outspoken on radio and television on cross-border matters and is well known as an expert on Chinese Law.
Leung was the editor-in-charge of the Chinese Law Reports from 1993.
Leung's political opponents accused her of having been supported by the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government and the pro-Beijing Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions in her bid for a Legco seat. She insisted that she was an independent in 2008 and a constructive political force, not a puppet controlled by Beijing. Leung has been a supporter of most governments bills.
