Huang Chieh (Chinese: 黃杰; pinyin: Huáng Jié; 1902–1995) was a Kuomintang general from Hunan.[1][2]

After mainland China fell under the control of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, General Huang led 30,000 Republic of China Army soldiers to Vietnam and they were stationed at Phu Quoc Island. Later, the army moved to Taiwan in June 1953. There is currently a small island in Chengcing Lake that was constructed in November 1955 and named Phu Quoc Island (富國島) in memory of the fleeing Chinese soldiers in 1949.[3]

Huang was Governor of Taiwan Province from 1962 to 1969 and the ROC Minister of Defense from 1969 to 1972.
