Chen Shiang-chyi (Chinese: 陳湘琪; pinyin: chén xiāng qí; born 27 November 1969) is a Taiwanese actress best known for her long-lasting collaboration with critically acclaimed filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang. When she was studying at the Taipei National University of the Arts, Chen was spotted by Edward Yang when he walked by her acting class. After her performance in Yang's A Confucian Confusion, she moved to New York City to study performing arts, later graduating from the Educational Theatre master's program at New York University. After Chen returned to Taiwan, she starred in many of Tsai Ming-liang's films. She also appeared in Lin Cheng-sheng's Sweet Degeneration (1997), which was entered into the 48th Berlin International Film Festival.
