Tanya Chan Suk-chong (Chinese: 陳淑莊; born 14 September 1971 in Hong Kong) is a Legislative Councillor representing Hong Kong Island. She is a founding member of the Civic Party.
Chan is sometimes known as the "Zhou Xun of the Civic Party".
Chan was educated at Sacred Heart Canossian College, and received Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Hong Kong where she also studied the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws.
In the 2008 LegCo elections, Chan was elected into, and became a member of, the Hong Kong Legislative Council to represent Hong Kong Island, along with Civic Party leader Audrey Eu.
In January 2010, Chan and other four lawmakers, Albert Chan, Alan Leong, Leung Kwok-hung and Wong Yuk-man resigned from LegCo, forcing a by-election, which they would treat as a "de facto referendum" to press the Chinese Government into allowing universal suffrage in Hong Kong. On 16 May 2010, she was re-elected as a lawmaker in the by-election.
