Lonny Chin (born August 12, 1960 in Liverpool, England) is an English model and actress of Chinese, Jamaican, Welsh and Swedish descent. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its January 1983 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Arny Freytag.

She also was the first Playmate to be the subject of a video profile, which aired on the Playboy Channel and was available in the first Playboy Video Magazine. Her first nude scene in this groundbreaking video, presented in slow motion with ersatz jazz in the background, shows her under a waterfall. She's next seen splashing water on herself in a pool before diving into the pool with a close-up of her buttocks. The camera follows her as she swims underwater, emerges from the pool and runs away.

Chin's family moved from England to Canada when she was 6 years old, and she grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia.
