Jennifer Tung (born 3 May 1973; age 50) is an actress who played a female ensign in Star Trek: Insurrection.

At the early age of 17, she was crowned "Miss Chinatown USA" (a title also held by two fellow Star Trek actresses, Irene Tsu and Cynthia Gouw). A talent manager found her training at a gym and encouraged her to go audition for a casting director. She did and it eventually led to her getting a leading role as Nefaria in the FOX series Masked Rider (1995-1996). She also lent her voice for the same character in two episodes of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1995). With her physical background, Tung has done most of her own stunts and performed also stunts for Armageddon (1998).

Tung has also performed in several television series such as Baywatch Nights (1996, episodes Code of Silence and Terror of the Deep, alongside Irene Tsu and Dey Young in the previous one), Beverly Hills, 90210 (1998, with Ann Gillespie), Angel (1999, with Obi Ndefo), The King of Queens (2000), J.J. Abrams' Alias (2002, with Randy Hall and Jeff Wolfe), ER (2003, with Max Grodénchik and Michelle C. Bonilla), Charmed (2001, directed by Anson Williams and 2005, directed by LeVar Burton and with Scott Allen Rinker), and CSI: Miami (2007).

Tung played a leading role in The President's Man (2000) and The President's Man: A Line in the Sand (2002, alongside Joel Swetow). She has also performed in films such as What Lies Beneath (2000), Kung Pow! Enter the Fist (2002, with Chris Palermo, Al Goto, and stunt coordinator Todd Bryant), where she was doubled by stuntwoman Leigh Hennessy, Undoing (2006, with Mary Mara), and the horror film Pearblossom (2008, with Charles Napier).
