Pan Wei-lun (Chinese: 潘威倫; pinyin: Pān Wēilún; Wade–Giles: Pan1 Wei1 Lun2; born 5 March 1982) is a Taiwanese former professional baseball pitcher. He played in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the Uni-President Lions from 2003 to 2024.

After brief amateur career in the Taiwan Cooperative Bank baseball team he was drafted by the Uni-President Lions of the Chinese Professional Baseball League in early 2003 and remains with this team to date. He has been considered an ace for the Lions and has also been a key member of the Chinese Taipei national baseball team since 2002.

He held the CPBL record of pitcher with the longest winning streak by scoring 21 victories between March 1, 2007 and June 18, 2008. Furthermore, he scored his first career no-hitter on July 10, 2008 against Chinatrust Whales, but failed to achieve perfect game due to a fielding error by first baseman Kao Kuo-ching.[_citation needed_]
