Yang Shu-chun or Judy Yang (Chinese: 楊淑君; pinyin: Yáng Shújūn; born October 26, 1985, in Yingge, Taipei County, now New Taipei City) is a female Taiwanese taekwondo athlete. She won the women's flyweight (under 51 kg) gold medal at the 2008 Asian Taekwondo Championships. In July 2011, Yang withdrew the appeal over her disqualification.[1] In the 2012 London Olympics, Yang lost to Chanatip Sonkham of Thailand in the quarterfinals.

After her suspension, in May 2011, Yang competed at the 2011 World Taekwondo Championships held in Gyeongju, South Korea, and won a silver medal in the –49 kg category losing to China's Wu Jingyu 6–2 in the final.[2]
