Chen Yu (simplified Chinese: 陈郁; traditional Chinese: 陳郁; pinyin: Chén Yù; born May 8, 1980) is a male badminton player from the People's Republic of China.
Chen won men's singles at the Chinese National Championships in 2002 and 2003. On the international badminton circuit he won the 2006 Thailand Open by defeating two fellow countrymen (and two fellow "Chens"), Chen Hong in the semifinals, and Chen Jin in a very close final. Outside of that victory he has had trouble breaking through, but has been runner-up in the Denmark (2003, 2006), Singapore (2003, 2007), and German Opens (2007), and at the prestigious All-England Championships in 2007.
