'''Lin Chung-chiu''' ({{zh|t=林仲秋|p=Lín Zhòngqiū}}; born 23 September 1958 in [[Fengyuan District|Fengyuan City]], [[Taichung County]] (now part of [[Taichung City]]), [[Taiwan]]) is a retired Taiwanese [[professional baseball]] player(position: [[first baseman]], [[outfielder]] or [[designated hitter]]) and currently a baseball coach. During the 1980s Lin spent most of his [[amateur]] career in [[Japan]] and attended the [[Baseball at the 1988 Summer Olympics|1988 Olympics]] for the [[Chinese Taipei national baseball team]]. After [[Professional baseball in Taiwan]]'s debut in 1990, Lin left Japan to join [[CPBL]]'s [[Mercuries Tigers]] in July 1990 and stayed with the team until its collapse in November 1999. He later played for the [[Sinon Bulls]](2000~2001) and [[Chinatrust Whales]](2002), and retired as a player midway in the Whale's 2002 season. Right after his retirement Lin was immediately promoted as the Whale's head coach until the end of CPBL's 2003 season. Between 2004 and 2006 Lin ran a small restaurant in his Fengyuan hometown. In early 2007, Lin returned to CPBL as Sinon Bulls' hitting coach and holds the position to date.

Despite his relative short figure, Lin is well known for his excellent batting skills and led the CPBL in [[home runs]] in the 1991, 1992, 2000 and 2001 seasons, at the age of 43. Throughout his [[Professional Baseball in Taiwan]] career he hit 162 home runs, which was only surpassed by [[Chang Tai-Shan]] and [[Hsieh Chia-hsien]] as of 2008.
