Tsai Hsien-tang (Chinese: 蔡憲棠, born April 29, 1977), formerly known as Tsai Hui-kai (Chinese: 蔡暉鎧), is a Taiwanese football (soccer) player. He usually plays as a defender or a defensive midfielder. During his service in Tatung F.C., he was voted the best defensive midfielder after the Chinese Taipei National Football League 2005 season.[1]

In October 2005, he suffered a serious knee ligament injury in training and was unable to represent Chinese Taipei at the 2005 East Asian Games held in Macau.[2] His absence also impacted the Tatung's results in the Oasis Super Cup,[1] an invitational competition organized by the shoe-making Oasis Group. The injury made him unable to be in the starting lineup during the whole Enterprise Football League 2006 season.[3]

In 2008, Tsai changed his name to Tsai Hsien-tang. He became captain of the Chinese Taipei national football team during the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup.[4]
