Philip Chan Yan-kin (born 25 January 1945) is a Hong Kong actor, film director, producer, screenwriter, and music composer of Taishan area origin.

Chan became popular in the then-British Colony of Hong Kong by being the lead vocalist for the first all-Chinese college pop group, "The Astro-Notes" (named for the astronauts of the 1960s).

He displayed courage and leadership in solving several major crime cases in the British Colony, including the first-ever armed bank robbery in 1974 in which 11 hostages were held at ransom.

The upbeat detective movie was an instant box-office success in 1976, grossing one million dollars in three days and causing the young policeman to consider pursuing his greatest love of life, films, and music.

Intending to strengthen his skills in Management and Marketing, he spent less time in acting and producing and eventually became an executive working for several commercial conglomerates in Hong Kong: Since 1999, he started his penetration into the entertainment market of mainland China in the fields of television production (the starting up of the Lucky Paid TV Channel in Shanghai), film production (for Emperor Films in the movie "Home Run" and its subsequent distribution.

He acted as a consultant for the Canadian independent horror film "Walking the Dead," which was shot on location in Heibei, Northern China, in 2009.
