Yang Chin-long (Chinese: 楊金龍; pinyin: Yáng Jīnlóng; born 5 June 1953) is a Taiwanese economist and the current Governor of the Central Bank of Taiwan.

Yang received a master's degree from National Chengchi University and earned a doctoral degree in economics from the University of Birmingham.[1][2] In 1989, Yang began working for the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan).[3] Yang was named deputy governor of Taiwan's central bank in 2008.[1] After Perng Fai-nan announced that he would retire upon the conclusion of his fifth term, Yang, Shea Jia-dong, and Richard Koo were considered candidates to succeed him.[4] On 1 February, Yang was appointed as the new Central Bank governor.[5][6]

Yang was listed in the Central Banker Report Card 2019, a list of the top central bankers compiled by Global Finance. In his first appearance on the list, he was given an A-grade.[7]
