Peter Lin or Lin Chin-hsing (Chinese: 林進興; born 12 May 1953) is a Taiwanese physician and politician. He was a member of the Legislative Yuan from 2002 to 2008, and faced legal action throughout his time in office, which twice led to his expulsion from the Democratic Progressive Party. Lin was a DPP candidate for Kaohsiung City Council in the 2014 Taiwanese local elections, but was not elected.
