Ren Hang (March 30, 1987 – February 24, 2017) was a Chinese photographer.

During his brief career, he was known mostly for nude photographic portraits of his friends. His works tend to include very graphic sexual acts which led to his arrest several times by PRC authorities. His career was backed by the famed contemporary Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei, who included Hang in his 2013 Netherlands show, "Fuck Off 2 The Sequel", and curated the photographer's 2014 exhibition in Paris, France.

Hang was known to suffer from depression. On February 24, 2017, official reports state that he took his own life in Beijing, China.
