Chan Kowk-wai (Chinese: 陳國偉; pinyin: Chén Guówěi; Cantonese Yale: Chan Gwok-wai; 1936-2022) was born on 3 April 1936, in Taishan in the province of Guangdong, China. He introduced traditional Shaolin kung fu to Brazil through the China-Brazil Kung Fu Academy. His disciples have spread as far as the USA, Canada, Spain, Argentina, Chile and the Czech Republic.

In September 2004, Chan was awarded the 10th degree of the World Organization of Wu Shu & Kung Fu Masters at Vancouver, BC, Canada, in five styles: Northern Shaolin, Yang-style Taiji, Baguazhang, Xingyiquan and Hungsing Choileifat.

Chan has authored books, such as Kung Fu Shaolin do Norte - Técnicas Básicas (1995) and Tai Chi Chuan - Estilo Yang Tradicional (2014).
