Joan Lin Feng-jiao (born 30 June 1953) is a retired Taiwanese actress and the wife of martial arts film superstar Jackie Chan.
She dropped out of school at age 12 due to her family's poverty. In 1972, at age 19, she starred in her first film, 潮州怒漢, a kung fu film. Many of her films are based on the novels of Chiung Yao.
In 1979, she won Best Actress in the 16th Golden Horse Awards for 小城故事. Lin has made over 70 films during her 10-year career.
She met Jackie Chan in 1981 and they married in Los Angeles the following year in 1982. Their only child, a son Jaycee Chan (now also an actor and singer), was born the day after they got married. Lin has retired from the film industry since then.
