'''Low Chee Leong''' (born 21 May 1963) is a Malaysian politician who has served as Deputy Member of the Malacca State Executive Council (EXCO) in the Barisan Nasional (BN) state administration under Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh and Member Muhamad Akmal Saleh since April 2023 and Member of the Malacca State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Kota Laksamana since May 2018. He served as Member of the Malacca State EXCO in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) state administration under former Chief Minister Adly Zahari from May 2018 to the collapse of the PH state administration in March 2020. He is a member of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), a component party of the PH coalition. He is presently one of the only two Malacca Deputy EXCO Members of PH and DAP along with Leng Chau Yen. His appointment as a Deputy EXCO Member in April 2023 is a demotion as he was previously appointed an EXCO member in May 2018. This has rarely happened in the Malaysian politics.
