Cheung Ching-ching (born 1947 in Taipei, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese actress, stuntwoman and B-grade action star prominent in the 1970s, notably for starring in various Gender Flipped Taiwanese remakes of martial arts movies popular at the time, such as One Armed Swordswoman (remake of One-Armed Swordsman) and The Seisure Soul Sword Of A Blind Girl (remake of ''Zatoichi).

She started her role as an opera singer and performer at age 17 before her cinematic debut, mostly in dramas, but by 1970 she made her first Wuxia film and begin shifting her career path towards action films. Incidentally, several of her films would co-star her alongside fellow Taiwanese icon Jimmy Wang Yu, star of the original One Armed Swordsman films.
