Pik-Sen Lim (Chinese: 林碧笙; pinyin: Lín Bìshēng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lîm Phek-seng, 15 September 1944 – 9 June 2025) was a Malaysian-British actress and voice artist. Born to Malaysian Chinese parents in Penang, she moved to the United Kingdom in 1961 to attend the London School of Dramatic Art. According to the BFI, Lim was "the most familiar Chinese actor on British television screens in the 1970s and 80s."

Lim's notable roles include Chin Lee in the 1971 Doctor Who serial The Mind of Evil, Chung Su-Lee on the ITV sitcom Mind Your Language (1977–79), Tsai Adams on the military drama Spearhead (1978–81), and the killer cleaner in Johnny English Reborn (2011). She was also the narrator for the Dark Souls video game series.
