Yida Huang (simplified Chinese: 黄义达; traditional Chinese: 黃義達; pinyin: Huáng Yìdá; born 11 August 1979) is a Singaporean singer and songwriter. The capitalization of his birth name is Yida Huang, as the previous form of "YiDA" was used as a logo by Sony Music Taiwan.

His song "Chou Nan Ren" (Jerk) was the opening theme for the Taiwanese drama Devil Beside You. Another song of his, "Set Me Free", was the theme song for the Chinese version of the movie Stealth.
