Kapitan China Lim Ah Siang (Chinese: 林亞相; pinyin: Lín Yàxiāng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lîm A-siang; 1853 – 19 February 1917), a timber merchant and steam saw miller, the founder of "Chop Sin Moh" Johor Bahru, was the third leader of the Ngee Heng Kongsi of Johor, a legitimised secret society based in Johor Bahru. He was appointed to the position not because he was the most prominent Chinese in Johor at the time but rather, because he was not.
