Lam Qua (Chinese: ??; Cantonese Yale: Lam Kwan; 1801-1860); or Kwan Kiu Cheong (???); was a Chinese painter from the Canton province in Qing Dynasty China; who specialized in Western-style portraits intended largely for Western clients. Lam Qua was the first Chinese portrait painter to be exhibited in the West. He is known for his medical portraiture; and for his portraits of Western and Chinese merchants in Canton (Guangzhou) and Macau. He had a workshop in 'New China Street' among the Thirteen Factories in Canton.

In the 1820s; Lam Qua is said by some contemporaries to have studied with George Chinnery; the first English painter to settle in China - although Chinnery himself denied this. Lam Qua became well-known and skilled in Chinnery's style of portraiture. He developed a following among the international community; and undercut Chinnery's prices.

From 1836 to 1855; Lam Qua produced a series of medical portraits of patients under treatment with physician Peter Parker; a medical missionary from the United States. Parker commissioned Lam Qua to paint pre-operative portraits of patients who had large tumors or other major deformities. Some of the paintings are now part of a collection of Lam Qua's work held by the Yale University in the Peter Parker Collection at the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library; others are in the Gordon Museum; Guy's Hospital; London.
