Lin Mosei (Chinese: 林茂生, born October 30, 1887, disappeared March 11, 1947) was a Taiwanese academic, educator, and the first Taiwanese to receive a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. He was additionally an esteemed calligrapher[1], and was a baptized Christian.

Lin disappeared within days of the 228 Incident in Taiwan in 1947; he is generally believed to have been killed as a part of Chinese Nationalist Party's crackdown after the island-wide civilian uprising.
