Lin Ling-san (; 16 April 1944 – 26 November 2022)[2] was a Taiwanese politician. He served as Minister of Transportation and Communications from 2002 to 2006.[3] In 2009 the Control Yuan voted to impeach Lin for illegally investing in the Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. The China Post reported that, "Because Lin [was] no longer a government official, the impeachment [would] not have any direct consequences for him, but the ruling [could] serve as a warning to incumbent officials dealing with the high-speed railway."[4]
