Oei Tiong Ham, Majoor-titulair der Chinezen (simplified Chinese: 黄仲涵; traditional Chinese: 黃仲涵; pinyin: Huáng Zhòng Hán; 1866–1924) was a Chinese Indonesian businessman. He was the son of Oei Tjie Sien (simplified Chinese: 黄志信; traditional Chinese: 黃志信; pinyin: Huáng Zhìxìn), the founder of the Kian Gwan Kong Si (Chinese: 建源公司; pinyin: Jiànyuán Gōngsī), a multinational trading company. He was born in Semarang, Central Java, Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). He became one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in Semarang and, in his time period, in the region. Part of his wealth originates from his involvement in the sugar industry. In Singapore, a road was named after Oei Tiong Ham. There is also an Oei Tiong Ham Park, which is located near Holland Road. His nickname, "Man of 200 Million", originates from the passing of his 200 million guilder estate at the time of his death in 1924 in Singapore.

Oei Tiong Ham was born in Semarang on 19 November 1866. His father was Oei Tjie Sien.

Oei's significance is related to his role in the Oei Tiong Ham Concern (OTHC), the largest conglomerate in the Dutch East Indies during the late colonial era and early Indonesian independence period.
