黃裳，字元吉，江西豐城人，生卒年不詳，元代或清代道士。

根據《樂育堂語錄》的序文，黃元吉先生是元代人，平時遁形隱跡，直到清朝道光、鹹豐年間，纔聚徒講學。然以此言之，黃元吉在世之壽幾近韆歲，並不閤理。《樂育堂語錄》序文所提到的元代黃元吉與清代黃元吉應非同一人。《新譯樂育堂語錄》的作者戈國龍所持的態度是“從學術的立場上說，則凡無有確切證據的事，都要存疑，也許兩人同名純屬巧閤吧！”

黃元吉於清鹹豐年間（1851年－1862年）在四川富順設“樂育堂”講課傳授道學十餘年。於清光緒年間講解《道德經》，後經整理成《道德經講義》，於光緒十年（1884年）刊刻發行。

關於黃元吉的辭世，比較詳細的敘述在李樂俅的《訪道語錄》：“黃元吉祖師清光緒十年丙戌，在四川自流井講道，最後解館，弟子恭送館外，黃當下飛升，徒眾見之，皆痛哭流涕，始後悔往日蹉跎，未嘗從師勇猛學道也。”另外，根據黃元吉的門人流傳，黃元吉是在眾弟子簇擁中，將肉身化為清風而去。

黃元吉一生傳奇異聞甚多，可以說是近代中國傳統內丹集大成者。自黃元吉之後，“天府樂育堂”一派在各地開枝散葉。黃元吉在四川講課的內容，被門人編纂成書，對於現代道傢內丹的修煉仍舊發揮著深遠的影響力。

根據門人所述，黃元吉是屬於道傢隱仙派。其法脈傳承為：廣成子→黃帝→岐伯天師→老子→尹喜→麻衣道者→陳摶→火龍真人→黃元吉。

黃裳生平於樂育堂傳授之講述，由門下弟子筆錄並編纂成《道德經講義》、《樂育堂語錄》、《道門語要》三書留傳於世。據傳尚有《玄宗口訣》、《醒心經注》、《求心經注》等書，然已經失佚。
