Domingo Lam-co (Chinese: 柯仪南; pinyin: Ke Yinan), a Chinese immigrant entrepreneur from Jinjiang, Quanzhou. Lamco is the great-great-grandfather of Dr. Jose Rizal.

He was baptized in the Catholic church of Manila's Parian Chinese ghetto in June 1697 at age 35, Domingo Lamco later moved to Biñan, Laguna where he prospered and became a leader of the Chinese community.

Domingo Lamco wed Inez de la Roza, daughter of Agustin Chinco. Lamco's son Francisco Mercado and grandson Juan Mercado both served as distinguished mayors of Biñan for five terms.
