The Lamb is a Grade II listed pub at 94 Lamb's Conduit Street, in the London Borough of Camden, London.{{National Heritage List for England |num=1379276 |desc=Lamb public house|accessdate=3 April 2015}}

The Lamb was built in the 1720s and the pub and the street were named after William Lamb, who repaired the Holborn Conduit, later renamed Lamb's Conduit in his honour, a few metres to the south, in 1577. The Lamb was refurbished in the Victorian era and is one of the few remaining pubs with 'snob screens' which allowed the well-to-do drinker not to see the bar staff, and vice versa.{{cite web|url=http://beerlens.com/2009/08/30/snob-screens/|title=Snob Screens|work=Beer Lens|accessdate=21 December 2015}}

Charles Dickens lived locally and is reputed to have frequented The Lamb. Other writers associated with the pub include Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. Hughes, who was a regular at the pub, arranged to meet Plath there in the early days of their relationship.Connie Ann Kirk, Sylvia Plath: a Biography (Greenwood, 2004) p. 73
