Law Pak (25 May 1933 – 13 February 2024) was a Hong Kong-born football coach and Republic of China (Taiwan) international footballer. However, he spent his entire playing career in the British Hong Kong. As a coach, he coached teams from Hong Kong and Taiwan; he also resided in Taiwan temporarily but in recent years followed his daughter to migrate to the United States.

In 2014, during an interview, he claimed that he, Mok Chun Wah and Lau Tim ({{lang|zh|劉添}}) were the only surviving gold medalists of the 1958 Asian Games football tournament.{{cite news|url=https://sports.ettoday.net/news/416738?t=%E7%99%BC%E5%93%A5%E8%AB%96%E7%90%83%EF%BC%8F%E7%BE%85%E5%8C%97%E9%80%BE%E5%8D%8A%E4%B8%96%E7%B4%80%E8%B6%B3%E7%90%83%E9%87%91%E7%89%8C%E8%8B%B1%E9%9B%84%E3%80%80%E4%B8%80%E7%94%9F%E9%A9%95%E5%82%B2%E5%9C%A8%E5%8F%B0%E7%81%A3|script-title=zh:羅北逾半世紀足球金牌英雄 一生驕傲在台灣|date=23 October 2014|access-date=18 December 2017|department={{lang|zh|發哥論球}} column|last={{lang|zh|何}}|first={{lang|zh|長發}}|website=ETtoday|publisher=Eastern Broadcasting Company|language=zh-tw}}
