Datuk Liew Vui Keong (simplified Chinese: 刘伟强; traditional Chinese: 劉偉強; pinyin: Liú Wěi Qiáng; born 18 January 1960) is a Malaysian politician. He was the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Sandakan constituency in Sabah from 2008 until his defeat in the 2013 election. During his term in Parliament he was a deputy minister in the federal government.
