Lee Yuk-wing (; April 14, 1904 – November 8, 1989) was a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is best known for adapting and popularizing the pioneering work of Norbert Wiener and for his own research on statistical communication theory.
Lee was born in Macau, then part of the Portuguese Empire, and called “Yuwing” or “YW” by his friends. He was a longtime collaborator of Wiener. After obtaining his doctorate at MIT, he returned to China and taught at Tsinghua University. He invited Wiener there in 1935–1937. In 1946 he came back to MIT as a Visiting Professor and initiated his research on statistical communication theory. He then stayed at MIT for 30 years. John Costas, Harry L. Van Trees, Irwin Jacobs and Amar Bose were among his students at MIT. He lived in Belmont, California and died in San Mateo, California.
