Nelson Quan (Chinese: 关景元, born October 14, 1984, Houston, Texas, USA) is a Chinese-American film editor, director and producer. His most recent work as an editor for the Volkswagen People's Car Project won the project the Golden Lion Award at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival for Branded Entertainment. He is known for editing the Chinese remake, What Women Want (2011) (Chinese: 《我知女人心》) and produced The Criminally Inept (2006) along with being one of the first students at the University of Hawaii at Manoa's Academy for Creative Media.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, and raised by two Chinese parents. He attended the University of Hawaii, Mānoa's Academy for Creative Media and attained a B.A. in Film and TV Producing.

Under the mentor and direction of former Tri-Star President of Production, Chris Lee, Nelson joined with three other interns to have an all expense paid internship on the set of Superman Returns (2006), directed by Bryan Singer.

After the internship, Nelson worked alongside director Ryan Ishii to produce his own feature The Criminally Inept (2006). Later after Nelson graduated from college, he went on to pursue learning Mandarin and moved to Beijing in the spring of 2008 and studied for two years. After studying, through the introduction of Chris Lee again, Nelson met up with director Daming Chen (Director: "Manhole", "One Foot Off the Ground", "What Women Want").

Nelson helped Daming in many projects, including revising scripts and providing technical help with computer equipment. Nelson then was awarded the editor position for National Wildlife Federation and Xing Xing Digital Entertainment's Wild Animal Baby Explorers where he edited animations and lead the post-production team.

In the summer of 2010, Daming asked Nelson to be his editor for the Chinese remake of What Women Want.
