Gem Cynthia Hoahing (20 October 1920 – 15 October 2015) was an English female tennis player of Chinese heritage who was active from the second half of the 1930s until the early 1960s.

Hoahing was born in British Hong Kong on 20 October 1920.

Her father, Benjamin Hunter Hoahing, was a businessman while her mother, Singha (Susan) Ho A Shoo, became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons after the family had moved to England in the late 1920s.

Her mother taught her to play tennis on the court at their house in Twickenham.

When she was 12 years old she played at the West Twickenham LTC and made a trip to the French Riviera for the first time where she played in a number of handicap tournaments.

At age 14 she won the under 16 singles title at the Queen's Club Championships.

1936

Hoahing won the junior singles Championship of Great Britain and of France in 1936.

In 1936 she was refused entry to the tournament because of her young age.

Starting around that time she was coached for some years by Dan Maskell.

1937

Between 1937 and 1961 she competed in 19 Wimbledon Championships.

1938

She was the singles runner-up at the 1938 South of France Championships, held at the Nice Club, losing the final in straight sets to Gracyn Wheeler.

1949

Her best singles result at Wimbledon was reaching the fourth round in 1949 and 1957.

In 1949 she defeated fourth-seeded Gussie Moran in the third round and in 1957 first-seeded and eventual champion Althea Gibson proved too strong.

She added the singles title at the North of England Championships in Scarborough to her palmares in August 1949, her third consecutive title at the event.

That year she also won the singles title at the Scottish Championships.
