Zhang Jiewen (simplified Chinese: 张洁雯; traditional Chinese: 張潔雯; pinyin: Zhāng Jiéwén; Cantonese Yale: Cheung1 Git3 Man4; born 4 January 1981) is a Chinese former badminton player.

Career

Zhang Jiewen is a Chinese former badminton player who specialized in women's doubles. She won more than thirty international titles, most of them in partnership with Yang Wei, during the first decade of the 21st century. Zhang and Yang were among the world's leading pairs during this period, closely matched with compatriots Gao Ling and Huang Sui. Between them, the two pairs won every BWF World Championships title from 2000 onward; Zhang and Yang defeated Gao and Huang in the finals in 2005 and 2007. Zhang and Yang also won the gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, beating Gao and Huang in a tight final. In contrast, Gao and Huang prevailed in three finals (2003, 2004, 2006) at the All England Open. The tournament was a notable exception in Zhang's career: she reached six women's doubles finals there (four with Yang, and two earlier with Wei Yili) but did not win the title.

In 2008, Zhang helped China secure its sixth consecutive Uber Cup and won the Swiss, Thailand, and Malaysia Open women's doubles titles with Yang. At the Beijing Olympics, top seeds Zhang and Yang were upset in the quarter-finals by Japan's Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna. The gold medal was won by younger Chinese pair Du Jing and Yu Yang, signaling a generational shift in Chinese women's doubles.

Zhang retired from competition after the 2008 Olympics. She married former Malaysian badminton player Choong Tan Fook, and the couple have two children. As of 2018, she was coaching at a badminton facility in Guangzhou. Zhang was honored alongside five other retiring teammates during a ceremony at the China Open in Shanghai on 23 November 2008.
