Ronnie Chan Chi-chung (Chinese: 陳啟宗; born 1949 in Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong entrepreneur.

In 1976, Chan received his MBA from the University of Southern California.

Chan also has a Doctor Philosophiae Honoris Causa from Tel Aviv University, and honorary doctorate degrees in social sciences from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and The Chinese University of Hong Kong respectively.

Since 1991, he has been the chairman of Hang Lung Group and its subsidiary Hang Lung Properties, one of the largest real estate developers in Hong Kong. He succeeded the chairman position in the companies from his uncle. He is also the vice-president of the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong, a Co-Chairman of the Asia Society and Chairman of its Hong Kong Center, and an advisor to the China Development Research Foundation of the State Council of the People's Republic of China.

He also serves on the governing or advisory bodies of several think-tanks and universities, including China Foreign Affairs University, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and his alma mater, the University of Southern California.

He was a director of Enron Corporation and a member of its audit committee when it filed for bankruptcy as a result of fraud. In November 2009, he attended the Horasis Global China Business Meeting in Lisbon, where his criticisms of American financial policy garnered widespread attention.

In September 2014, Chan's family donated US$350 million and US$20 million to Harvard University and the University of Southern California, respectively.
