Ryu Myong-yon (Korean: 류명연; born January 9, 1970) is a North Korean sport shooter. Ryu made his official debut for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, where he placed twenty-sixth in the 10 m air pistol, and twenty-eighth in the 50 m pistol, accumulating scores of 574 and 550 points, respectively.

Sixteen years after competing in his last Olympics, Ryu qualified for his second North Korean team, as a 38-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by receiving a place from the 2006 ISSF World Shooting Championships in Zagreb, Croatia. He finished only in twenty-seventh place in the preliminary rounds of the men's 50 m pistol, by four points behind South Korea's Lee Dae-Myung from the fifth attempt, for a total score of 551 targets.
