Yang Hong (died 228),[1] courtesy name Jixiu, was an official of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China.

Later, Li Yan wished to relocate the Administrator's headquarters, however Yang Hong firmly opposed this decision and in the end his opinion was ignored.

Zhuge Liang sends a memorial to have Yang Hong take the vacant position, he quickly adapted and the many problems were soon all resolved therefore he was given the formal appointment.

At this time, the Administrator of Hanjia Huang Yuan (黃元) had a bad relationship with Zhuge Liang and fearing that after Liu Bei's death would have problems led a rebellion in his commandery, he burned down the city of Linqiong.

During this Zhuge Liang had left to examine the condition of Liu Bei therefore Chengdu was weak and badly defended, Huang Yuan was all the more excessive and fearless in his attitude.

Yang Hong at once informed Liu Chan to dispatch their own personal troops along with the Generals Chen Hu (陳曶) and Zheng Chuo (鄭綽) to suppress Huang Yuan's rebellion.

All he can hope for is going east to our Lord, praying that he is safe and calm, so he can submit to him and receive death however if he is doubtful then he will flee to Wu and beg for his life.

In 227, Zhuge Liang moved to the north and made his headquarters in Hanzhong, wanted to employ Zhang Yi in his office as his Chief Clerk (長史) and asked Yang Hong's opinion about this.

Yang Hong told him: "Zhang Yi is by nature a smart and insightful man with skill and earnestness in governorship.

However, when in position, Zhang Yi had conflict with the Colonel (校尉) Chen Shu (岑述) until their relation reached hatred and anger.

Zhuge Liang knew about this and send a letter to Zhang Yi where he reprimand him for not putting the interest of the State before his personal relation.
