Yeom Hye-ran (Korean: 염혜란; born October 30, 1976) is a South Korean film, television, and theater actress. Her career began on stage, where she established herself as a notable theater actress from 1999 onwards. She was a member of the Yeonwoo Theater Company and a founding member of Theater Iru, earning critical recognition and several awards in the Daehakro theater district. She made her screen debut with a minor role in director Bong Joon-ho's 2003 film Memories of Murder (2003).

In 2016, Yeom transitioned into television after being discovered by writer Noh Hee-kyung, making her small-screen debut in Noh's drama Dear My Friends (2016). It was followed by a supporting role as villain in Kim Eun-sook's drama Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016). She later reunited with Noh Hee-kyung on two subsequent projects, The Most Beautiful Goodbye (2016) and Live (2018). She achieved mainstream recognition for her supporting performance in Lim Sang-choon series When the Camellia Blooms (2019) and in the two seasons of the action drama The Uncanny Counter (2020–2023).

In film, Yeom took her first title role in the 2021 mystery film Black Light, a critically acclaimed performance that earned her multiple Best Actress awards. More recently, she has garnered critical acclaim and international recognition for her work in Netflix original productions, including The Glory (2022–2023), Mask Girl (2023), and When Life Gives You Tangerines (2025). Her most recent project is Park Chan-wook's film No Other Choice (2025).
