Lim Ho Puah (simplified Chinese: 林和坂; traditional Chinese: 林和阪; pinyin: Lín Hébǎn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lîm Hô-póaⁿ) was a Hokkien merchant who was born in Amoy on 30 December[1] 1841, and came to Singapore at an early age.

He was the founder and senior partner of the Wee Bin Steamship Line and other concerns.

[2] Lim became the sole surviving partner in the firm of Wee Bin & Co. when Wee Bin's grandson Wee Siang Tat (Chinese: 黃祥達; pinyin: Huáng Xiáng Dá; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ûiⁿ Siâng-ta̍t) died.

[3] The company was liquidated in 1911, when the greater part of the firm's business, including all the large steamships, was taken over by his son Lim Peng Siang (Chinese: 林秉祥; pinyin: Lín Bǐng Xiáng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lîm Péng-siông).

Lim was a Director of Tan Kim Ching's Tanjong Pagar Dock Company, served as a member of the Chinese Advisory Board and on the Committee of the Po Leung Kuk, and was made a Justice of the Peace.
