Tang Shu Shuen (Chinese: 唐書璇; pinyin: Táng Shūxuán; born 1941) is a Hong Kong film director, best known for her innovative films The Arch (1968) and China Behind (1974). Though her film career was brief, she was a trailblazer for socially critical art cinema in Hong Kong's populist film industry, as well as its first noted woman director, and one of the few Chinese women directors working in cinema during the 1960s and 70s.
