Yaw Shin Leong (Chinese: 饶欣龙; pinyin: Ráo Xīnlóng; 2 June 1976 – 10 November 2023) was a Singaporean businessman and former politician. A former member of the opposition Worker's Party (WP), he was a Member of Parliament representing the constituency of Hougang SMC between 2011 and 2012.
In January 2012, news of a rumoured extramarital affair with a fellow member of the Workers' Party broke out. Yaw said he did not intend to respond to the rumours. In another report, a married Chinese woman claimed to have had an affair with Yaw. On February 2012, Yaw has been expelled from the Worker's Party with immediate effect, citing indiscretions in personal life as reasons for expulsion.
