Desmond Lim Bak Chuan (Chinese: 林睦荃; pinyin: Lín Mùquán; born 1967) is a Singaporean politician who has been serving as chairperson of the Singapore Democratic Alliance since 2001.
Lim participated in the general elections from 2001 to 2025, contesting the GRCs of Jalan Besar (2001), Pasir Ris-Punggol (2006 to 2020) and Pasir Ris-Changi (2025), as well as the by-election of Punggol East SMC (2013), under the SDA.
Lim was initially considered a protégé of Chiam See Tong until they had a falling out in 2011, which led to Chiam and the SPP withdrawing from the SDA. Lim is known for his willingness to attempt new methods of campaigning and has described himself as "dedicated and determined".
