Sylvia Lim Swee Lian (born 28 March 1965) is a Singaporean politician and lawyer who has served as the chairperson of the Workers' Party since 2003. Lim has been the Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) between 2006 and 2011. She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Paya Lebar division of Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC) since 2020.
Before entering politics, Lim had served in the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and worked as a law lecturer. One week after the 2011 general election, she announced that she would be resigning from her job after 12 years on account of what she anticipated to be an increased workload after her election to Parliament. During the same year, Lim also re-entered the legal sector. She is currently serving as counsel at Peter Low Chambers LLC.
