Patty Hou (Chinese: 侯佩岑; pinyin: Hóu Pèicén; born 20 December 1977) is a Taiwanese TV host.
Hou was born in Taipei, Taiwan. She earned a degree in mass communications and psychology from the University of Southern California. She was a news anchor for TTV, Era News and CTi before transitioning to talk shows and variety programming. From 2004 to 2012, she hosted the Azio TV show Entertainment in Asia. In 2025, she participated in the Chinese reality show Ride the Wind 2025.
In 2024, Hou joined a group of Taiwanese celebrities in their endorsement of Chinese unification on social media. In 2025, after her second endorsement, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council condemned “a small number of Taiwanese entertainers” for echoing the CCP’s official narrative in pursuit of personal career interests in mainland China.
