El fénix chino o chino tradicional: 鳳凰, chino simplificado: 凤凰 (pinyin: fènghuáng) es un pájaro mitológico chino que reina sobre las demás aves. Los machos son llamados feng y las hembras, huang. En la actualidad ya no se hace esa dicotomía de géneros y los dos se engloban en un único género femenino (yin) que puede ser aparejado con el dragón chino, que se considera macho (yang). El fenghuang también es llamado el así (鶤雞 hùnjī).

Fenghuang (simplified Chinese: 凤凰; traditional Chinese: 鳳凰) are mythological birds of East Asia that reign over all other birds. The males were originally called feng and the females huang but such a distinction of gender is often no longer made and they are blurred into a single feminine entity so that the bird can be paired with the Chinese dragon, which is traditionally deemed male. The fenghuang is also called the "August Rooster" (simplified Chinese: 鹍鸡; traditional Chinese: 鶤雞; pinyin: kūnjī) since it sometimes takes the place of the Rooster in the Chinese zodiac. In the West, it is commonly called the Chinese phoenix or simply Phoenix, although mythological similarities with the Western phoenix are superficial.
