Ken Yeang (born 6 October 1948) is a Malaysian architect, ecologist, planner and author, noted for his work in ecological architecture and eco-masterplanning.

In 2008, The Guardian included him in its list of "50 people who could save the planet". Yeang’s architectural practice, Hamzah & Yeang, is based in Kuala Lumpur, with associated offices in London as Llewelyn Davies Ken Yeang Ltd. and in Beijing as the North Hamzah Yeang Architectural and Engineering Company.
