Eric Tsang Chi-wai (; born April 14, 1953) is a prolific Hong Kong actor, film director, film producer and television host best known for hosting the Super Trio Series on TVB over the course of 10 years. Due to his popularity, he is often the master of ceremony in most events organized by TVB, and is known by many as simply "the Prize Master".

Round and short, Tsang is often cast as the horny and sexist skirt-chaser in comedies early in his career, inlcuding the Lucky Stars series, alongside Sammo Hung. He has taken on more serious roles since, with memorable recent roles including those in Golden Chicken (2002) and the Infernal Affairs series as a vicious mobster.

Aside from his public image of being the ultimate comedian, Eric Tsang is very active in the actor's guild, often representing the interest of Hong Kong actors in issues such as anti-piracy.

However, Eric Tsang's involvement with the Hong Kong triads is often rumoured, especially with his brutal assault at a bar in 2004.

Eric Tsang is also an avid Buddhist, often leading other actors in efforts to raise money for Hong Kong Buddhist temples and events.

His best friends are Natalis Chan and Alan Tam and his daughter is Mandopop singer Bowie Tsang.
