Kee Thuan Chye (born May 25 1954 in Penang, Malaysia) is a noted Malaysian dramatist, poet and journalist.

Kee graduated from Universiti Sains Malaysia in 1976 and received his masters in drama from England’s Essex University in 1988. Kee served as literary editor and occasional film reviewer for the "New Straits Times", arts columnist for "Business Times", theater columnist for "New Sunday Times", and is now associate editor in charge of the English column, [http://thestar.com.my/english/| Mind Our English] for "The Star (Malaysia)". His Sunday Star column "Playing The Fool" began in April 2001 and ran for only two installments until it was cancelled.

Kee has had poetry published Malaysian national newspapers, and in local and international journals such as "Masakini", "Pacific Quarterly Moana", "Southeast Asian Review of English", "Sands and Coral", "Solidarity", "Ideya", "Ariel", "Kunapipi", and "Focus". Two of Kee's plays have been featured in at UK Festivals. "The Big Purge" was read at the Soho Theatre in 2005, as part of Typhoon 4, the International East Asian Playreading Festival.
