Huang Jinrong (Chinese: 黃金榮; Wade–Giles: Hwang Chin-jung; 10 May 1868 – 20 June 1953), nicknamed "Pockmarked" due to a bad case of smallpox, was a Chinese chief detective who worked for the French Concession police force in Shanghai from 1892 to 1925. Even though he was a detective, he was also one of three major Green Gang bosses along with Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin in Shanghai. Huang remained in Shanghai during the Japanese occupation and after the Communist takeover. He was made an example during the Chinese Communist Party’s Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries and died of illness in 1953.
