Huang Feihu (Chinese tradition: 黃飛虎; simplify: 黄飞虎; Pinyin: Huáng Fēihǔ) is a major character featured within the famed ancient Chinese novel Fengshen Yanyi (封神演義).

Huang Feihu is the son of Huang Gun (黄滚). He is renowned as the top general throughout the whole Shang Dynasty (商朝). When Daji (妲己) had effectively convinced the idiotic King Zhou (商紂王) that it would be best to retrieve the two fleeing princes after slaying an official, Huang Feihu would make his first true appearance.

When the princes had both been stolen by the giant Fang Brothers before Huang Feihu's very own eyes, Huang Feihu was pleased to see that the capital was still possessed of at least a few truly justified individuals. Following this, the king, along with the Chao Twins (Chao Tian [晁田] and Chao Lei [晁雷]) would decide it best that Huang Feihu himself should pursue the Fang Brothers -- who are present with the two princes. Thus, he heads out on his purple mystic bull with the duel Dragon-Phoenix Sword (龙凤剑) given by the twins.

Huang Feihu was appointed as the Great Emperor of Mount Tai (泰山大帝) in the end
