Chang Yoon-hee (Hangul: 장윤희; born 22 May 1970) is a retired South Korean female volleyball player. She was part of the South Korea women's national volleyball team.[2] On the club level she played with Honam Oil, which later became LG Oil and then GS Caltex.

Chang made a strong start to her career by winning the Most Valuable Player of the Year award in 1989.[1] In 1996 she stated that she had no intention of getting married or retiring in the near future.[3] After the 1996 Summer Olympics, she stepped down from the national team, but continued to play at the club level.[4] She married national cycling team member Lee Kyung-hwan in April 1997.[5] Though initially concerned about her ability to balance married life and the demands of volleyball, she returned to the national team again in 1998.[4] She retired in 2002, and later became a coach for GS Caltex.[6]
