Last Hero in China (Chinese: 黃飛鴻之鐵雞鬥蜈蚣; lit. 'Wong Fei-Hung: Iron Rooster vs. Centipede') is a 1993 Hong Kong martial arts film written and directed by Wong Jing. It is a derivative of the Once Upon a Time in China film series, and unlike other imitations, it can be considered an unofficial spin-off or parody to some extent. It stars Jet Li as Wong Fei-hung, reprising his role from the first three China films, with martial arts choreography by Yuen Woo-ping, who worked on the second film, along with series composer James Wong Jim. It was also distributed by Golden Harvest, which distributed the China films.

However Last Hero in China differs greatly in tone from the Once Upon a Time in China films as it contains stronger elements of violence and broader, more slapstick, comedy. The film contains some Easter eggs, such as a Lifebuoy poster in the 19th century, a staff of the Monkey King, a guandao and Ne Zha's Universe Ring.
