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

Wang has won one doubles title on the WTA tour, as well as six singles and five doubles titles on the ITF circuit in her career. On 15 June 2015, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 127. On 8 June 2015, she peaked at world number 78 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.
