Chang Fu-hsing (, February 1, 1888 – March 5, 1954) was a Taiwanese violinist who was born in and later settled in Taihoku (today Taipei).

Life Chang Fu-hsing was born in Toufenzhuang, Miaoli (now Toufen City, Miaoli County). After graduating from Toufen Public Elementary School, he enrolled in the Taiwan Governor-General's National Language School and graduated in 1907. In 1908, he was recommended for admission to the Tokyo Music School in Ueno, and was the first Taiwanese to study music in Japan. There he was given the opportunity to learn to play the organ, not yet introduced to Taiwan. In order to put his studies into practice, Chang also took violin lessons in his final year of study. Chang's advisor was Akatarō Shimazaki. His classmates included the composer Kiyoshi Nobutoki and the cellist Hagiwara Eiichi. In addition to teaching, Chang was also an avid collector of Taiwan's indigenous music. In 1922, he was invited by Government-General of Taiwan to conduct a survey of indigenous music, and in the spring of the same year he went to Sun Moon Lake to investigate indigenous folk songs. In October of the same year, Chang submitted his manuscript Traditional Songs and Pestle Songs of the Thao at Sun Moon Lake, which was published on December 25. This was the first book on Taiwan's indigenous music, and he was the first Taiwanese musician to collect and help organize Taiwan's indigenous music.

After the Japanese colonial period ended in 1945, Chang continued his work as a music educator. He was a professor at the Department of Music, Taiwan Provincial Teachers College (now renamed National Taiwan Normal University), and an editor of music textbooks for elementary schools. After his retirement, Chang continued to collect Buddhist music until his death in 1954.
