Liu Yang (born 18 June 1997) is a Chinese footballer currently playing as a defender for Dalian Zhixing.

Club career
Liu played for the academies of Liaoning and Fushun Xinye, before a move to Spain in 2015, joining Sabadell. He joined Lleida Esportiu the following year, spending most of his time in the club's 'B' team. He made his debut for Lleida Esportiu in a Copa del Rey match against Espanyol, the club fellow Chinese player Wu Lei was playing for at the time. Wu scored both goals in a 2–0 win for Espanyol.

On his return to China in 2021, he was only able to join Chinese Champions League side Shaoxing Shangyu Pterosaur. The move was seen as disappointing in Chinese media, who expected the player to be able to compete at a higher level, having had numerous years of training in Spain.
