Wang Lung-wei (born 1949) is a Hong Kong martial artist, actor, director, producer, and action choreographer, who has starred in over 80 kung fu films, mainly for Shaw Brothers Studios.{{cite web|title=Wang Lung-wei |url=http://www.celestialpictures.com/level3_talent_info.cfm?l_talent_id=56 |publisher=Celestial Pictures |accessdate=June 15, 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090427033941/http://www.celestialpictures.com/level3_talent_info.cfm?l_talent_id=56 |archivedate=April 27, 2009 }}

Wang's first Shaw Brothers film role was as Yu Pi in the 1974 Chang Cheh-directed film Shaolin Martial Arts. This became a pattern, in that he was cast as the villain in the majority of his movies, with Martial Club being a famous exception. In 1985, Wang moved behind the camera, choreographing fight scenes, writing, and directing many movies such as Hong Kong Godfather. He retired from the industry some time before 2009.
