Janet Lim Chiu Mei (Chinese: 林秋美; pinyin: Lín Qiūměi) (née Kwek; July 14, c. 1923 – August 5, 2014) was a writer in Singapore.

In 1933, Singapore banned the import of mui tsais and required registration for existing ones; she was able to prove that she was suffering ill treatment and she was placed in an orphanage for girls run by Po Leung Kuk.

The ship she was on sank, and she was rescued by fishermen but then recaptured by the Japanese in Sumatra and held captive.

In 1958, her autobiography Sold for Silver was published, becoming the first English book written by a woman from Singapore.

The couple moved first to Kuala Lumpur, then to Hong Kong, and settled in Australia in the 1960s, raising three children.
