Ben Chan Han-pan (Chinese: 陳恒鑌; born 1975) is a member of Hong Kong Legislative Council (Geographical constituency New Territories South West) and was a member of Tsuen Wan District Council (Yeung Uk Road). He is a member of Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, a pro-establishment party in Hong Kong. He is an engineer and graduated from Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering and Master of Science of Material Science and Engineering of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

In February 2021, Chan criticized RTHK, claiming it had been abusing its editorial independence, and that the new director, Patrick Li, could fix its "credibility" issues. In contrast, the RTHK's Programme Staff Union stated that they had serious doubts about Patrick Li, and that the government had made moves to strip editorial independence from RTHK.
