George Yong-Boon Yeo (born 13 September 1954; simplified Chinese: 杨荣文; traditional Chinese: 楊榮文; pinyin: Yáng Róngwén), or George Yeo, is the Minister for Foreign Affairs in Singapore. Ethnically Chinese, he belongs to the Teochew dialect group. He was a student of Saint Patrick's School and Saint Joseph's Institution. He was an SAF Overseas Merit Scholar and a President's Scholar. He rose to the rank of Brigadier General, prior to becoming a politician. Yeo is married to Jennifer Leong and they have one daughter and three sons.

George Yeo is the Member of Parliament for Aljunied Group Representation Constituency since 1988 but the team he led in the 2006 General Elections managed only 56.1% of the votes compared with 43.9% garnered by new faces in the Workers' Party. This was despite the James Gomez saga plaguing the opposition. The main election issues in the Elections included employment; cost of living; government policies; the need for an effective opposition voice in parliament; and the quality of the candidates.

George Yeo was the first Singaporean Minister to start blogging. He has been blogging since August 2006.
