Faye Wong, or Wang Fei (Chinese: 王菲; pinyin: Wáng Fēi) (born August 8, 1969 in Beijing, now a Hong Kong citizen) is an extremely popular singer in Asia, especially mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and more recently in Japan and to some extent in the West.

She is believed by critics and fans alike to be one of the most commercially and artistically distinguished singers in Chinese pop music history, with a following so large and devoted that media in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China often place the title tiānhòu, (天后; diva or goddess) before her name while Japanese fans call her "Diva of Asia." Shy, intensely private, and unsocial, she is one of the very few people widely popular on both sides of the Taiwan straits, despite her aggressive avoidance of the media. Not only admired openly by singers, actors and politicians (such as Ma Ying-jeou, mayor of Taipei and newly-elected leader of the KMT); she was also labeled as the gay icon among the gay community. She has acted in several TV shows and films, most memorably in Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express, a role that garnered her international acclaim, as well as the award for "Best Actress" at the 1994 Stockholm Film Festival; and his most recently 2046, starring as an android and one of Tony Leung's love interests. She is known not only to many Final Fantasy fans from her famous song "Eyes On Me", which was used in the game Final Fantasy VIII and in its promotional campaign in 1998; but also as one of the faces of such brand advertisements as Head & Shoulders shampoo and Pepsi-Cola, and one of the voices from the ending-credits music of the critically-acclaimed film Hero.
