Kevin Lin (Traditional Chinese:林義傑, November 19, 1976) is an ultramarathon runner from Taipei, Taiwan.

Living in Taipei, Kevin is one of the most well known endurance athletes in Asia. Kevin together with Charlie Engle and Ray Zahab became the first modern runner to cross the Sahara Desert on February 21, 2007.

He had agreed to work with the H2O Africa project and be part of the first team of runners to cross the Sahara from coast to coast. The expedition was filmed and will be edited into a documentary, Running for Africa, narrated by Matt Damon and set for release in November 2007 with the logistics support of Sam Rutherford at www.prepare2go.com.

The [http://www.runningthesahara.com/ Running the Sahara] project began in Senegal, went through Mauritania, Mali, Niger, and Libya, before culminating in Egypt.

A full-time graduate student, he won his first ever 150-mile (241-kilometer) race across the Atacama Desert in Chile in 2004.
