Eric Gung-Hwa Lean (Chinese: 林耕華; born 11 January 1938) is a Taiwanese electrical engineer specializing in optoelectronics.

Lean graduated from National Cheng Kung University in 1959 with a bachelor's of science degree in electrical engineering, and furthered his education in the subject at the University of Washington, where he earned a master's degree in 1963, followed by a doctorate in the same field at Stanford University in 1967. After completing his Ph.D., Lin worked at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center until 1992.[1][2] During the 1980s, Lean was recruited by Pan Wen-Yuan to contribute his expertise in optoelectronics to the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI).[3] Lean formally joined the ITRI in 1992 as director of its Institute of Optoelectronics, and retired in 2000.[1][2]

Lean was elected a fellow of the Optical Society of America in 1990,[4] to an equivalent honor by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1997,[2] and elected to academician status in Taiwan's Academia Sinica in 1998.[1]
