Wee Tian Siak (26 April 1921 – 29 July 2004) was a Chinese born Singaporean basketball player. He competed in the men's tournament at the 1948 Summer Olympics, representing China, and at the 1956 Summer Olympics, representing Singapore.[1]

Wee studied in Ai Tong Primary and Chung Cheng High.[2]

In 1952, Wee was selected by Taiwan for the 1952 Summer Olympics.[2] Due to the Cross-Strait relations between Taiwan and China, Taiwan did not compete in the end and hence, Wee did not participate.
