Lim Nang Seng (1917 – 17 November 1987, Chinese: 林浪新[1]) was a Singaporean sculptor.

[2] Prior to 1971, he had spent two weeks in a carpark along Orchard Road sculpting Dancing Girl, a sculpture, which was then installed at the Seng Poh Garden in Tiong Bahru.

[4][5] The sculpture received mixed reception from the local residents, as some thought it was too abstract or too closely resembled a swan.

[11] However, Lim did not want his children to follow in his footsteps, as he did not earn much money from sculpting.

[12] On 17 November 1987, during the Merlion Week, while working on clay figurines, Lim fainted and was admitted into the Singapore General Hospital.
