Dr. Yen Sin is a three-issue fiction anthology magazine that was originally published from May through October 1936 by Popular Publications, featuring lead stories by Donald E. Keyhoe about the plots of the titular doctor, a Fu Manchu-type character and mastermind of the "Invisible Empire", and his adversary Michael Traile, "the Man Who Never Slept" (or "Man Who Never Sleeps"), a spy who suffered chronic insomnolence from childhood after an operation to repair a skull fracture caused irreparable brain damage. The magazine was a follow-up to the earlier title The Mysterious Wu Fang by the same publisher that had ended in February 1936.
