Huang Chao (835 – July 13, 884) was a Chinese rebel, best known for leading a major rebellion that severely weakened the Tang dynasty.
Huang was a salt smuggler before joining Wang Xianzhi's rebellion in 875. After splitting with Wang in 876, Huang turned south and conquered the port of Guangzhou in 879. His army then marched back north and in 881 sacked the Tang capital Chang'an, forcing Emperor Xizong to flee. Huang subsequently proclaimed himself emperor of the new state of Qi, but was defeated by the Tang army led by the Shatuo chieftain Li Keyong in 883, forcing him to abandon the capital. He fled east but was met with further defeats, with his former subordinates Zhu Wen and Shang Rang surrendering to Tang. In 884, Huang was killed in Shandong by his nephew Lin Yan, bringing an end to his rebellion.
