Hoàng Hà Giang (30 April 1991 – 7 December 2015)[1] was a Vietnamese taekwondo practitioner who won a silver medal at the 2006 Asian Games.

In 2008, when just 17 years old and qualified for Beijing Olympic, she was diagnosed with SLE, which made her give up this competition and retire from professional taekwondo. In 2013, she was caught in a traffic accident that broke her leg. She died on 7 December 2015.[2]
