Yang Fang (17701846) was a Han Chinese general and diplomat during the Qing dynasty (16441911). Born in Songtao, Guizhou Province (modern day Songtao Miao Autonomous County), he joined the military as a young man and became a secretary, where he came to the attention of General Yang Yuchun (楊遇春/杨遇春 17601837), who recommended him for military school.
