Kolten Kaha Wong (born October 10, 1990) is an American professional baseball second baseman for the Norfolk Tides, in the Baltimore Orioles organization. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, and Los Angeles Dodgers. He made his MLB debut in 2013. Wong bats left-handed and throws right-handed.

From Hilo, Hawaii, Wong starred in baseball at Kamehameha Hawaii High School and for the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The St. Louis Cardinals selected Wong in the first round of the 2011 Major League Baseball draft, and promoted him to the major leagues two years later. He was named the National League Rookie of the Month for May 2014. Wong was the Cardinals' starting second baseman for the majority of his tenure with the team, and won two Gold Gloves and three Fielding Bible Awards with the club. During the 2020 offseason, the Cardinals declined Wong's player option for the 2021 season, making him a free agent for the first time in his career. He then signed with Milwaukee, with whom he played two seasons, before he was traded to the Mariners following the 2022 season.
