Han Sai Por (Chinese: 韩少芙; pinyin: Hán Shàofú;born 19 July 1943) is a Singaporean sculptor. A graduate of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), East Ham College of Art, Wolverhampton College of Art (now the School of Art and Design of the University of Wolverhampton) and Lincoln University, New Zealand, she worked as a teacher and later as a part-time lecturer at NAFA, the LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts, and the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, before becoming a full-time artist in 1997.

Though Han is probably best known for her stone sculptures with organic forms, her oeuvre is broad. Today, her sculptures can be found in Osaka and Shōdoshima, Kagawa Prefecture, in Japan; Kuala Lumpur and Sarawak in Malaysia; and Washington, D.C.. For her contributions to art, Han was conferred the Cultural Medallion for Art in 1995. She had won awards from the Lalit Kala Akademi in India, as well as the Outstanding City Sculpture Award in China
