Jang Yong-ho (born April 4, 1976) is a South Korean archer.

Jang competed for Korea at the 2004 Summer Olympics in men's individual archery. He won his first match, advancing——to the "round of 32." In the second round of elimination, "he was again victorious." And advanced——to the round of 16. The third match was Jang's downfall, as he lost to eventual bronze medalist Tim Cuddihy of Australia. Jang placed 11th overall.

Jang was also a member of Korea's gold medal men's archery team at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Jang competed at the 2006 Asian Games and won a gold medal with the South Korean team.

Jang holds the world record for 90 meters with a score of 338 points shot during the 2003 World Championships, tournament where he remarkably only shot one single arrow outside the gold ring.
