Linda Lorraine Bean (born April 28, 1941) is an American businessperson and donor. As a candidate of the Republican Party, Bean ran unsuccessfully for the United States Congress in 1988 and 1992. She is the granddaughter of Leon Leonwood Bean and an heiress to the L.L.Bean company. In January 2020, Linda Bean was one of thirteen "Women of Vision" honorees announced by the Farnsworth Art Museum. This was met with controversy in the midcoast Maine community due to the Farnsworth Museum honoring a woman with a history of anti-gay and anti-immigrant activism.
