'''Lee Tim-sing''' (born 1949) is a Hong Kong [[television producer]], director and writer.
== Career == After graduating from secondary school, Lee joined [[Television Broadcasts Limited]] (TVB) in 1969 as a set decorator. He became a director in 1975 and was promoted to a producer a few years later. Lee was also known for making [[cameo appearances]] in several television productions, including a guest appearance in an episode of the variety program ''[[Enjoy Yourself Tonight]]'' as "Street-sweeper Mau", a role for which he later became known.
In the early 1980s and late 1990s, Lee achieved great success in the genres of [[wuxia]] and action thrillers. Many of Lee's television productions also contributed to the popularity of rising actors of their time, such as [[Chow Yun-fat]], [[Carol Cheng]], [[Felix Wong]], [[Andy Lau]], [[Tony Leung Chiu-Wai|Tony Leung]] and, recently,{{when|date=December 2013}} [[Wayne Lai]]. Most of Lee's works are produced by TVB.
In 2016, at the age of 68, Lee Tim-sing announced his retirement, ending his 48-year long career with TVB.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sg.style.yahoo.com/lee-tim-sing-retire-tvb-071200704.html|title=Lee Tim Sing to retire from TVB|website=sg.style.yahoo.com|date=21 March 2016 |language=en-SG|access-date=2019-08-20}}</ref>
