Albert Chan Wai Yip (陳偉業, born 3 March 1955 in Hong Kong with family roots in Shunde, Guangdong) has been a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong since 1991 except between 1997 and 2000. Chan is also a member of the Tsuen Wan District Council.

In 1986, together with Lee Wing Tat, he founded the Hong Kong Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood, and served as Chairman of the party after Lee left in 1990. From 1994-2002 he was a member of the Democratic Party. He is now a leading figure in the League of Social Democrats, which he co-founded in 2006.

He is active in grass roots issues and believes that the government is not genuinely committed to the electoral reform promised in the Basic Law.[1]
