Wai-Kam Ho (26 March 1924 – 28 December 2004) was a Chinese-American art historian and curator. Born in Guangdong province, Ho studied history at Lingnan University and Yenching University before serving as a research assistant to Chen Yinke in 1949. Chen arranged for Ho to travel in secret to the United States, where he attended Harvard University, receiving an M.A. in 1953. He was hired as the curator of Oriental and Chinese art at the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1958, where he worked under director Sherman Lee. In 1983, he transferred to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. Ho and his wife Wai-ching organized the 1992 exhibition Century of Tung Ch'i-ch'ang, 1555-1636. He served as chief editor of the exhibition's catalogue, which received the first Shimada Prize in 1993. Alongside his curator duties, Ho worked as an adjunct professor at Case Western Reserve University and the University of Kansas.
