He Yang (; born 23 February 1983 in Tianjin) is a former Chinese international footballer.
Club career While He Yang graduated from the Tianjin Teda youth team during the 2002 league season he struggled to break into the first team until the 2003 league season when he made thirteen league appearances. Often coming on as a substitute throughout much of his career he had difficulty in establishing himself as regular and was often criticised for his lack of concentration within defence, nevertheless he remained with Tianjin even when he was completely dropped from the senior team in the 2008 league season. When the 2009 league season began centre-back Wang Xiao was injured early within the campaign and the coach Zuo Shusheng immediately recalled He Yang back into the team as his replacement, with another chance to prove himself within the team He Yang showed considerable maturity and physical ability that was missing in his earlier career. He Yang would suddenly rise to prominence and establish himself as an integral member within the team, even scoring his debut goal against Shanghai Shenhua on May 16, 2009 in a 1–1 draw. When Arie Haan came into the team as the new coach He Yang would remain an integral part of the team and go on to help Tianjin come runners-up of the 2010 Chinese Super League season.
On 11 February 2015, He transferred to China League One side Qingdao Jonoon. After two seasons he moved to another League One club in Zhejiang Yiteng on 14 January 2017. This was followed by a move to fourth tier club Chengdu Better City in the 2018 Chinese Champions League season where he played an integral part in seeing the club gain successive promotions.China 2019 > China League Two at rsssf.org 2020-10-15 Retrieved 2021-05-20 At the end of the 2020 China League One season his contract would expire with Chengdu after three seasons with the club.离队公告丨感谢曹添堡、何杨，成都是你们永远的家 at dongqiudi.net 2021-01-16 Retrieved 2021-05-20 On 24 February 2021, He would announce his retirement from professional football.前国脚何杨退役：因为热爱所以执着 无悔足球青春 at sports.sina.com.cn 2021-02-24 Retrieved 2021-05-20
