Seung Yu is an American educator and as of 2020, principal of Stuyvesant High School, one of the elite public schools in New York City.

Previously, he was Senior Executive Director of the Office of Postsecondary Readiness (OPSR) at the Department of Education. Prior to that in 2017, he was the founding principal at the Academy for Software Engineering (AFSE), a high school near Union Square that prepared students for careers in computer science. AFSE was created and developed by former Stuyvesant computer science teacher Mike Zamansky as a screened high school, but left the project when the DOE changed it to open admissions.
