William "Bill" Ming Cheong Lam (1924–2012) was an American architectural lighting designer known for integration of lighting into architecture, and advocated for design-focused lighting standards in opposition to purely quantitative approaches. He began his career as a lighting manufacturer before establishing a lighting design consulting practice and contributing to over 2000 projects throughout his career.
