Fanny Law Fan Chiu-fun, GBM, GBS, JP (Chinese: ????; born 24 February 1953) is a former high-ranking civil servant of Hong Kong.
She held the posts of Secretary for Education and Manpower (until 2002), Permanent Secretary for Education and Manpower (until 2006).
In late 2006, she was appointed Commissioner, Independent Commission Against Corruption. Fanny Law resigned from the post following a government inquiry into interference with academic freedom at the Hong Kong Institute of Education while she was Permanent Secretary.
However the Court of First Instance held that Law did not violate the institute's right to academic freedom when she contacted academics directly.
The judicial review was allowed on 13 March 2009 but this did not affect the Commission's findings with regard to their terms of reference.
