Lín Fú 林虙 (fl. early 12th c.), zì Dézǔ 德祖, was a Northern Sòng official-scholar from Wújùn 吳郡 (Sūzhōu). He passed the cíxué 詞學 (composition examination) and served as Kāifēngfǔ yuàn 開封府椽 (clerk in the Kāifēng prefectural office). He is known almost exclusively for one work: the Xī Hàn zhàolìng 西漢詔令 in 11 juàn, his pioneering anthology of Western Hàn imperial-edict text — supplementing the inadequate selection in the standard Xī Hàn wénlèi (Western Hàn classified prose collection) by extracting 401 edicts from the Hàn shū annals and biographies and arranging them by reign.
Chéng Jù 程俱 (1078–1144) wrote the preface to Lín Fú’s Xī Hàn zhàolìng in Dàguān 3 (1109). Lín Fú’s work was later joined with Lóu Fǎng 樓昉’s Dōng Hàn zhàolìng (preface 1222) into a single 23-juàn work titled Liǎng Hàn zhàolìng 兩漢詔令 (KR2f0011). The combined work survives in the Sìkù quánshū with both original prefaces and a zǒnglùn by Hóng Zīkuí 洪咨夔 prefixed.
CBDB has no lifedates for him; his floruit is anchored by Chéng Jù’s 1109 preface to his work. He must be distinguished from a Yuán-period homonym (CBDB id 12443).
