Wing Han Tsang, popularly known simply as Wing, is a New Zealand singer of Hong Kong origin.

Having taken up singing as a hobby after emigrating to New Zealand, Wing gained an audience by entertaining patients at nursing homes and hospitals in and around Auckland. This prompted suggestions that she release a CD; the result was a debut entitled Phantom of the Opera, featuring the title song from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, and a selection of other popular tunes to the accompaniment of a programmed synthesizer.

The recording proved a success, leading to a number of subsequent releases that eventually gained her an international audience. In recent years she has become a minor celebrity, appearing on such shows as SportsCafe, Rove Live, The Annoying Music Show, and even guest starring on South Park in an episode named for her (although only recordings of some of her songs were used, and she didn't vocally record any new material for the episode). Samples of her music have also been played on The Russ Martin Show, with Martin originally tricking his listeners into believing that Wing was a deaf American woman who managed to earn a record deal.
