Yan Huiqing (Chinese: 顏惠慶; Wade–Giles: Yen Hui-Ch'ing, also Weiching Williams Yen or simply W.W. Yen; 2 April 1877 – 24 May 1950) was a Chinese diplomat and politician who served under the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China. He held the title of jinshi in the imperial bureaucracy. Notably, he served briefly as Premier and later President of the Republic of China in the 1920s, and, shortly before his death, became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

In 2016, the University of Virginia paid tribute to Yen by creating the W.W. Yen China Fund. W.W. Yen was the first student from China to earn a degree from the University of Virginia.^[1] The former Lewis House is now Yen House, in honor of Yen.^[2]
