防风氏，中国传说中上古人物或部落名，巨人族，有三丈三尺高

防风氏是大禹时期人物，为远古防风国的创始人，又称汪芒氏，传说今天汪姓的始祖。他协助大禹治水。按《国语·鲁语》中记载：春秋时期，吴国攻打越国，摧毁了会稽城，同时出土了一根要用车拉的大骨头。吴国使者向孔子请教，孔子说，古时大禹召集诸侯到会稽山开会，大会开了三天，却还没见防风氏；等他赶来后，禹大怒，将其杀死。防风氏人高骨头也大，要用车拉才行，但这骨头是否就是防风氏的遗骨，不敢确定。孔子又说，防风氏就是汪芒氏的诸侯，封地在封嵎山（今浙江德清县三合乡）一带。

Fangfeng (traditional Chinese: 防風;simplified Chinese: 防风;pinyin: Fángfēng) is a character from Chinese mythology as well as having been worshiped as a deity in Chinese popular religion. As a mythological figure, Fangfeng is mostly known for arriving late for an assembly called by Yu the Great after the end of the Great Flood, and then being executed at the orders of Yu. Because Fangfeng was a giant (of nearly 10 meters/33 feet), the executioner had to build a big dike in order to reach his head. Modern myths and legends regarding Fangfeng in China tend to emphasize that Fangfeng was wrongly executed: that the reason Fangfeng was late for the assembly was that on his way there he encountered a local flood and his delay was caused by his efforts to end the flood and save the people. As a god, worship of Fangfeng was most prominent in the Six Dynasties regions of Wu and Yue (modern Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shanghai). A common depiction of Fangfeng was as one-eyed and browed, dragon-headed, and ox-eared.
