Huang Xiaoming or Mark Huang (Chinese: 黄晓明; pinyin: Huáng Xiǎomíng, born 13 November 1977) is a Chinese actor and singer. Huang rose to prominence for playing Emperor Wu of Han in the television series The Prince of Han Dynasty (2001), followed by popular series such as The Return of the Condor Heroes (2006), Shanghai Bund (2007), The Patriot Yue Fei (2013), Cruel Romance (2015), Nirvana in Fire 2 (2017), Winter Begonia (2020), as well as films The Message (2009), The Last Tycoon (2012), and American Dreams in China (2013).

Huang was born in Qingdao, Shandong and is an only child. His father was an engineer while his mother was an accountant. At age nine, he was selected by a film studio to play the child protagonist in a movie. Huang is the second older cousin of Olympian Chen Meng, who won two table tennis gold medals at Tokyo 2020.

Throughout his school life, Huang planned to become a scientist, but when the Beijing Film Academy came to Qingdao to recruit students, his Chinese teacher encouraged him to take advantage of the opportunity. A month before his interview, his foot was run over and crushed by a jeep, so he had to walk into the interview on crutches with a plaster cast on his leg. The interviewer, Cui Xinqin, would be Huang’s class monitor at the Beijing Film Academy, where he was classmates with Zhao Wei and Chen Kun. Huang graduated from the academy in 2000.

In 1984, Huang was initially chosen by a producer to star in a drama as a child actor, but was dropped later because of his shy and introverted personality. In 1998, while at the Beijing Film Academy, he debuted in the drama Love is Not a Game.

Huang gained attention when he was chosen to replace Lu Yi for the leading role in The Prince of Han Dynasty, which earned high ratings. He later starred in all three installments of the series from 2001 to 2005, and went from an unknown newbie to an A-lister.

He followed with a list of popular TV dramas, such as Merry Wanderer Tang Bohu (2003), for which he won the Outstanding Actor award at the 14th Zhejiang TV Peony Award for his performance; My Fair Princess III (2003). He played the leading roles in Shanghai Bund (2007), a remake of the 1980 Hong Kong television series The Bund, and Royal Tramp, adapted from Louis Cha's wuxia novel The Deer and the Cauldron.

After achieving success in television, Huang decided to extend his career into cinema. His first major role was in the historical film The Banquet as the antagonist. He then starred in the Hong Kong action film The Sniper (2009), martial arts film Ip Man 2 (2010) and the historical epic Sacrifice (2010) directed by Chen Kaige. He made a comeback to television with Taiwanese idol drama Summer's Desire (2011), based on the novel of the same name by Ming Xiaoxi.

Huang's performance as a bandit leader in An Inaccurate Memoir (2012) won him the Best Actor award at the 4th China Image Film Festival. Huang also starred in martial arts epic The Guillotines and played the younger version of Chow Yun-fat's character in The Last Tycoon. The same year, Huang was selected as the ambassador of the Changchun Film Festival and became the first mainland actor to have his wax figure displayed in Hong Kong's Madam Tussauds museum.
