Zhongyan (Chinese: 中衍; pinyin: Zhōngyǎn; literally: "Yan the Younger") was a figure in Chinese mythology.

In the Records of the Grand Historian, Sima Qian's account of the origins of the House of Ying state that he was the great-great-grandson of Lian the Great, son of Fei the Great (also known as Boyi). In turn, he was said to be the great-great-grandfather of Zhongjue.
