Fong Lim is an electoral division of the Legislative Assembly in Australia's Northern Territory.

The district is named after Alec Fong Lim, Lord Mayor of Darwin from 1984 to 1990. There were 5,353 people enrolled in the division in August 2016.

Fong Lim is located in the suburban corridor south of the Stuart Highway in Darwin. It takes in the suburbs of Bayview, Stuart Park, Woolner and The Narrows, and parts of Coconut Grove and Ludmilla.

Fong Lim largely replaced the abolished Electoral division of Millner, and was renamed in honour of former Darwin Lord Mayor Alec Fong Lim. It was first contested at the 2008 election. Based on the results of the previous election, it was calculated to have a Labor majority of 61.5% to 38.5% versus the Liberal Party. It was contested by the incumbent member for Millner, Labor MP Matthew Bonson, who lost to the Country Liberal Party's candidate, former federal MP Dave Tollner, on a swing of 13 percent. Tollner was reelected in 2012 as the CLP won government.
