Maggie Chan Man Yee (Chinese: 陳敏儀; pinyin: Chén Mǐnyí; born 28 October 1975), also known as Maggie Chan-Roper, is a Hong Kong long-distance runner. She competed in the women's 5000 metres and women's 10,000 metres at the 2000 Summer Olympics.[1]

She also qualified to represent Hong Kong at the 2004 Olympics in the marathon through a 2:35 finish in the 2004 Salt Lake City Marathon – six months after becoming a mother,[2] but was unable to participate as she fractured her foot, requiring surgery.[3]

Chan is the current Hong Kong record holder in the 1500m (4:21.60, in 1999), 3000m (9:14.00, in 1999), 5000m (15:45.87, in 2002), 10,000m (32:39.88, in 2002) and Mile (4:58.91, in 1994).[4]

Since 2006, Chan has registered with World Athletics that her national allegiance is to the United States.[5]
