The name Longwang has been used to name two tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was submitted by China and literally means "Dragon King".

  • Tropical Storm Longwang (2000) (T0002, 02W, Biring)
  • 2005's Typhoon Longwang (T0519, 19W, Maring) – struck Taiwan as a category 4 typhoon and made second landfall in China.

    • The name Longwang was retired after the 2005 season, and replaced by Haikui. Haikui, submitted by China, means sea anemone in Chinese.

  • 2012's Typhoon Haikui (T1211, 12W) – enhanced the southwest monsoon that caused heavy rains from the Philippines
