ЯНГ ЧЖЭНЬНИН (р. 1922) — американский физик китайского происхождения. В 1948–1949 годах работал в Чикагском университете, где подружился с Чандрой, с 1949 года — в Институте высших исследований в Принстоне (с 1955 года — профессор). С 1966 года — профессор и директор Института теоретической физики Университета штата Нью-Йорк (Стоуни-Брук). В 1957 г. получил (вместе с Цзундао Ли) Нобелевскую премию. Основные труды — по квантовой теории поля, теории элементарных частиц и теории фазовых переходов.
