Kapitan China Tan Kim Ching (Chinese: 陳金鐘; pinyin: Chén Jīnzhōng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tân Kim-cheng; 1829 – February 1892), also known as Tan Kim Cheng, was a Singaporean politician and businessman. He was the eldest of the three sons of Tan Tock Seng, the founder and financier of Tan Tock Seng Hospital. He was consul for Japan, Thailand and Russia, and was a member of the Royal Court of Siam. He was one of Singapore's leading Chinese merchants and was one of its richest men in Singapore at that time. He was also the first Asian member of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society. After his father, Tan Tock Seng's death, he became the Kapitan China of the Straits Chinese community. He is believed to have been the head of the Triad in Malaya.
