'''Lin Hsin-i''' ({{lang-zh|t=林信義|p=Lín Xìnyì}}; born 2 December 1946) is a Taiwanese businessman and politician.

In November 2005, while a Senior Presidential Adviser, Lin attended the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Busan, South Korea, in place of Taiwan's President Chen Shui-bian. Because of opposition from the People's Republic of China, Taiwan's senior leaders are unable to attend APEC events in person and must send a ministerial-level envoy. He was Chairman of the Industrial Technology Research Institute from 2004 to 2008.

Lin graduated from National Cheng Kung University with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in mechanical engineering in 1970.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023 |title=List of Recipients of the NCKU Distinguished Alumni Award |url=https://secr.ncku.edu.tw/var/file/24/1024/img/3029/802805509.pdf |access-date=23 December 2025 |publisher=National Cheng Kung University |language=zh-TW}}</ref> Before entering politics, he was an executive in the car industry.
