Lin Haiyin (Chinese: 林海音; pinyin: Lín Hǎiyīn; born Lin Hanying; 18 March 1918 – 1 December 2001), also named Amy Lin, was a Taiwanese writer and editor. Of Miaoli Hakka descent, She was born in Osaka, Japan, and lived in Itahashi Town (板橋街), Taihoku Prefecture until the age of four before relocating to Peking, China.

In Taiwan, she served as an editor for the Mandarin Daily News (國語日報) and as the editor of the United Daily News (聯合報) supplement. She is best known for her 1960 book Memories of Peking: South Side Stories (城南舊事), a novelistic tribute to her childhood reminiscences of Peking.
