Joseph Hsu King-shing[1] also transliterated as Hsu King-Seng[2][3] (1910s to 11 February 1986) was a Chinese professional football player and manager. Born in Shanghai, Hsu moved to Hong Kong to continue his professional career and never returned to the mainland China to play nor coach. He coached both Hong Kong and Republic of China (Taiwan), as well as managed Singtao for more than a decade.

Hsu was nicknamed Left-foot King[4] (左腳王) during his career.
