Huang Jucai (黄居寀 in Chinese, 933–after 993), courtesy name Boluan, was a painter active from the late Five Dynasties period to the early Northern Song dynasty. Born in Chengdu, he was the youngest son of Huang Quan, a court painter of the Later Shu kingdom, and inherited his family’s artistic legacy. Specializing in bird-and-flower, bamboo-and-rock, and figure paintings, he became renowned for his meticulous brushwork and rich colors, particularly in avian subjects. During the Later Shu era, he served as an Academician-in-Attendance at the imperial court alongside his father, co-establishing the "Huang-style opulence" characterized by realistic detail and sumptuous coloration, which dominated the Western Shu painting academy.

After the fall of Shu in 965, he accompanied the surrendered ruler Meng Chang to the Song court in Bianjing (today's Kaifeng), succeeding his father (who died the same year) as the family’s artistic representative in the imperial academy. There, he oversaw the collection and authentication of artworks for nearly four decades, shaping the Northern Song imperial painting academy. His works, praised by Emperor Taizong as "a marvel of our time," blended anatomical precision in birds with lifelike vitality in flora. His surviving masterpiece, Pheasant and Thorny Bamboo with Sparrows (held at Taipei’s National Palace Museum), epitomizes the Huang school’s style. As a pivotal figure in court painting, Huang elevated meticulous bird-and-flower painting to its zenith, laying the foundation for the Song academy until stylistic reforms by Cui Bai.
