[Image:LamBun.jpg|right|250px] Lam Bun林彬 (d. August 24, 1967) was a victim in the Hong Kong 1967 riots and a active radio commentator in Commercial Radio Hong Kong.

During the 1967 riots, he criticized the leftist agitators in his own radio programmes. Later, he created a programme called "Cannor refrain from strike" (欲罷不能) to satirize the leftist agitators.

On August 24. 1967, Lam Bun, a popular radio commentator, was murdered when he drove to work. A death squad posing as road maintenance workers stopped Lam's vehicle on the street close to where he lived. They poured petrol onto Lam and his cousin and set them on fire. Both Lam and his cousin died later in hospital. No one was arrested although it was believed that 1967 riots leader Yueng Kwong(楊光) was the one who order the murder.

The Lam Bun event made Hong Kong people angried, the Hong Kong government started to supress the riots.

With the help of Commercial Radio Hong Kong and some Hong Kong citizens, his wife and his 3 daughters fled to France.
