Khouw Tjeng Tjoan

Khouw Tjeng Tjoan, -titulair der Chinezen (; 1808 – 1880) was a Chinese-Indonesian magnate and landlord.

Biography Tjoan was born in 1808, in Batavia, Dutch East Indies, into the Khouw family of Tamboen, part of the 'Cabang Atas' or Chinese gentry of colonial Indonesia. Khouw was the oldest of the three sons of the landlord (died in 1843). Prior to his Chinese lieutenancy, he had the hereditary title of Sia as the son of a Chinese officer. He was raised in 1856, together with his brother Khouw Tjeng Kee, to the honorary rank of Luitenant-titulair der Chinezen, but without any of the entailed responsibilities in the civil administration.

Tjoan's was married to Lie Sek Nio (1832–1896), daughter and granddaughter of the landlords Lie Pek Tjiat and Kapitein-titulair der Chinezen Lie Tiang Ko, of the Lie family of Pasilian.

Six of Tjoan's sons later served as Chinese officers in the colonial bureaucracy, most notably Khouw Kim An, the fifth and last Majoor der Chinezen of Batavia.
