Đỗ Ngọc Yến (1941 — August 17, 2006) was a Vietnamese American journalist and newspaper publisher. He was the founder of Người Việt Daily News, the oldest and largest Vietnamese-language daily publication in the United States.
Born in Southern Vietnam, Yến emigrated to the United States by the fall of Saigon, ultimately settling in Southern California. He has been praised for his leadership of the Người Việt newspaper and as an effective community leader for Little Saigon, Orange County. Journalism professor Jeffrey Brody has called Yến both a "pioneering journalist" and "the intellectual voice of Little Saigon".
