Wang Yafan (Chinese: 王雅繁; pinyin: Wáng Yǎfán; born 30 April 1994 in Nanjing) is a Chinese tennis player.

Wang has won two doubles titles on the WTA tour, as well as seven singles and six doubles titles on the ITF circuit in her career. On 14 November 2016, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 115. On 15 February 2016, she peaked at world number 49 in the doubles rankings.

Wang made her WTA tour debut at the 2014 Shenzhen Open, partnering Zheng Jie in doubles. The pair won their first round match against wildcards Sun Ziyue and Xu Shilin, and defeated third seeds Irina Buryachok and Oksana Kalashnikova in their quarterfinal, before losing to eventual tournament champions Monica Niculescu and Klára Zakopalová in the semifinals.

In September 2014 at the Guangzhou Open, Wang was given a wildcard into the singles main draw and advanced to the semifinals, upsetting the number one seed and world number 20 Samantha Stosur in round one, and qualifiers Petra Martić and Zhang Kailin along the way. She was knocked out by eventual tournament champion Monica Niculescu.
