Yeh Chu-lan (Chinese: 葉菊蘭; pinyin: Yè Júlán; Wade–Giles: Yeh Chü-lan; born 1949) is a Taiwanese politician who served as the Vice Premier of Taiwan under the Yu Shyi-kun cabinet.

She was the senior advisor to President Tsai Ing-wen.
Career
Yeh worked in advertising for seventeen years prior to entering politics after her husband, Cheng Nan-jung, a dissident, chose to commit suicide rather than be arrested in 1989.

In late 2005, she became the first female acting mayor of Kaohsiung when then-mayor Frank Hsieh was appointed Premier.
She was sworn in as the Presidential Office secretary-general in August 2007.[1]
