Chen Hsi-huang (Chinese: 陳錫煌; born 1931) is a Taiwanese glove puppeteer.

Chen was born in 1931 as the eldest son of Li Tien-lu. He bears his mother's surname because his father had entered a ruzhui marriage to ensure his parents-in-law had a male heir.[1][2]

Chen was the subject of a 2018 documentary directed by Yang Li-chou and produced by Hou Hsiao-hsien. Father explored the relationship between Chen and Li Tien-lu.[3][4]

In 2020, he was awarded the National Cultural Award.[5]
