Cheng Biguang (程璧光) (1861－26 February 1918) was a Chinese admiral from the late Qing Dynasty and later the Republic of China.[1] He served in the Beiyang Fleet and the Republic of China Navy. When Duan Qirui refused to validate the Constitution, Cheng and fellow Admiral Lin Baoyi sailed their fleets down south to join with the 'Constitutional Government' of Sun Yat-sen.[2] He was assassinated in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, in 1918.[1]
