Rimsky Yuen Kwok-keung (Chinese: 袁國強; born 17 June 1964) is a Hong Kong barrister who served as the third Secretary for Justice of Hong Kong from 2012 to 2018.

He currently practices from Temple Chambers in Hong Kong. He is registered as a barrister in Hong Kong and as an Advocate and Solicitor in Singapore. Yuen was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal (GBM) by the Hong Kong Government in 2017.
