Chế Linh (Eastern Cham: Jamlen; b. 1942) is a Vietnamese popular singer, songwriter. An ethnic Cham, his stage name Chế Linh is a Vietnamese transcription of his Cham name. However, like many Cham people, he also has an official Vietnamese legal name, Lưu Văn Liên.

He rose to fame in the 1960s and is considered one of the four most renowned male voices of early Vietnamese bolero music ("Tứ trụ nhạc vàng"), each with a distinct style. The other three are Duy Khánh, Nhật Trường, and Hùng Cường.
