Tan Hiok Nee (Chinese: ???) (1827- 21 May 1902); also known as Tan Yeok Nee; was the leader of the Ngee Heng Kongsi of Johor; succeeding Tan Kee Soon in circa 1864.

He transformed the Ngee Heng Kongsi of Johor from a quasi-military revolutionary brotherhood; based in the rural settlement of Kangkar Tebrau; into an organisation of kapitans; kangchus; and revenue farmers; based in the state capital of Johor Bahru.

Tan Hiok Nee went into pepper and gambier planting which led naturally to trading in these crops; and eventually became a major pepper and gambier trader at Boat Quay in Singapore. He held the opium and spirit farm for Johor for various periods but in 1870-79; he joined with Tan Seng Poh and Cheang Hong Lim to form the Great Opium Syndicate which managed to gain control of the opium and spirit farm not only in Johor; but also the vastly lucrative revenue farms in Singapore; Melaka; and Riau.

His grandson Tan Chin Hian; was the chairman of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce; Singapore Teochew Poit It Huay Kuan and Ngee Ann Kongsi Singapore for many years. Pictures From History
