Zhou Yan (Chinese: 周妍; pinyin: Zhōu Yán; Mandarin pronunciation: [ʈʂóʊ jɛ̌n]; born September 30, 1982;[1] usually referred to in the media as Yan Zhou) is a Chinese curler. For many years she plays lead for the Chinese national team, skipped by Wang Bingyu. She won a bronze medal at 2010 Winter Olympics as a member of Chinese National Team.

Zhou curled in her first tournament after having only curled for 2 years, at the 2002 Pacific Curling Championships. At that time she played third for the team. Since then, she has played lead for the team in every tournament except for the 2005 Pacific Championships, when she was the team lead.

Zhou has won 3 Pacific Championships (2006, 2007, 2008), and a World Championship (2009) as a member of the team.
