Oey Kim Tiang (9 February 1903 – 8 March 1995) was an Indonesian translator of Chinese novels. Born to a supervisor at a coconut plantation, Oey studied at a school run by the Tiong Hoa Hwe Koan in Tangerang. Graduating at the age of twenty, he found work with the newspaper Keng Po as a translator. His first published translation, Tong Tjioe Liat Kok, retold the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms in vernacular Malay. Over the next sixty years, Oey translated dozens of works, ranging from classics of Chinese literature such as Journey to the West to the wuxia novels of Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng.
