Dil Bahadur Lama (21 March 1930 – 25 March 2014), popularly known as DB Lama was a leader of Nepali Congress (Democratic) and former Inspector General of Nepal Police. He was elected to the Pratinidhi Sabha in the 1999 election on behalf of the Nepali Congress. In 2001, he was included as an Assistant Minister of General Administration in Sher Bahadur Deuba's expanded cabinet. In that cabinet he served under Minister of General Administration Khem Raj Bhatt Mayalu. After the 2006 uprising against monarchy in Nepal, Lama was included in a Parliamentary Sub-Committee, organized to investigate the assets of the king.

Lama had, in his function as a police official, issued an arrest warrant in the 1980s for Mayalu, who was then considered as a terrorist by the Nepalese government.

Dil Bahadur Lama had joined the Nepal Police on Fagun 28, 2007 BS as the Warrant Officer 1 at the then Sadar Nepal Armed Constabulary and upgraded to the IGP post on Asar 1, 2039 BS. The Nepal Police hospital, school and community police service was established during his tenure. Considered, by many of his former colleagues, one of the most influential chief of Nepal Police, Lama is credited with establishing Nepal Police Hospital and Nepal Police School; promoting recruitment of female officers; introducing separate uniform for traffic officers; and publishing police bulletins, among others.

Former IGP Dil Bahadur Lama was arrested in 1987 along with Colonel Bharat Gurung after being charged by His Majesty's Government in the involvement in smuggling and corruption. Lama was arrested late in July, 1987 on charges of accepting payoffs from prominent businessmen and criminal networks involved in smuggling not only narcotics but gold as well. Lama was imprisoned for a period of 5 years.
