Tan Ah Eng (simplified Chinese: 曾亚英; traditional Chinese: 曾亞英; pinyin: Zēng Yà Yīng) (22 August 1955 – 10 August 2013) was a Malaysian politician. She was the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Gelang Patah constituency in the state of Johor from 2004 to 2013. She was member of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), a component party of ruling Barisan Nasional coalition then.[1]

Tan was elected to federal Parliament in the 2004 election, succeeding fellow MCA member Teu Si @ Hang See Ten in the seat of Gelang Patah.[2][3] She had earlier been a Senator.[4]

Suffering brain cancer, she did not recontest her seat in the 2013 election, and died in August of that year, at the age of 58.[5]
