Huang Hao ( Chinese  黃 皓  /  黄 皓 , Pinyin Huáng Hào ) was a eunuch at the time of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China and served the Shu Emperor Liu Shan . He began his service for the emperor in the 220s. According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms , he was preferred by Liu Shan because he was incessantly flattering him. When Dong Yun (the emperor's supervisor) was still alive, he often warned the emperor about Huang Hao's flattery and admonished Huang Hao to do the same.

After Dong Yun's death (246), Cheng Qi (陳 祗) became a supervisor. He teamed up with Huang Hao, and her influence on the imperial court grew. Even deserving ministers like Zhuge Zhan and Dong Yue (董 厥) could no longer intervene. Commanding general Jiang Wei advised Liu Shan to have Huang Hao executed, but the emperor refused. Fearing Huang Hao's revenge, Jiang Wei fled the capital Chengdu to station troops in Tazhong (沓 中; in today's Gansu ). In all these years he had never won a decisive victory against the Wei and was to be replaced by Yan Yu (閻 宇), who had close ties to Huang Hao.

In 263, Jiang Wei wrote to Liu Shan warning him about Wei General Zhong Hui , who was mustering a huge army on the Shu border. Huang Hao dismissed it, and Liu Shan rejected Jiang Wei's defense plan. When Shu was captured, Huang Hao was captured by Wei General Deng Ai , who was trying to execute him. But Huang Hao was able to bribe Deng Ai's aide and escape. His further fate is unknown. In the novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms says Chapter 119, he was of Sima Zhao was publicly executed after being in the Wei capital Liu Shan Luoyang was followed.
