Lin Hsin-i ({{zh|t=林信義|p=Lín Xìnyì}}; born 2 December 1946) is a Taiwanese businessman and politician. He served in the Democratic Progressive Party administration as Minister of Economic Affairs between 2000 and 2002, then as Vice Premier between 2002 and 2004.{{cite news |title=Premier asks deputy, secretary to stay |url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2004/04/17/2003136998 |work=Taipei Times |date=17 April 2004 |accessdate=12 March 2011 }}

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.

A graduate of National Cheng Kung University, Lin was an executive in the car industry before entering politics.
