Lambert von Dalen († December 14, 1558 in Lübeck ) was a German merchant and councilor in Lübeck.

Lambert von Dalen's father, Hans, came from a merchant family with close family connections to Holland. In 1529 Lambert von Dalen was sentenced by the Lübeck Niederstadtgericht to stand for the debts his brother Melchior had made in Flanders. When he died in 1550, his second brother, "Baltzer", left him a house burdened with debts.

He was one of the highlighted opponents of the mayor of Lübeck Jürgen Wullenwever . His written report on the years 1530 to 1537 in Lübeck is handed down in Jacob von Melles Rerum Lubicensium, libri III .

After the end of the Wullenwever period, von Dalen was elected to the Lübeck council in 1537 . He represented the city at the Hanseatic Days from 1555 to 1557 and was the city's treasurer in 1557 and 1558. As envoy of the Hanseatic League he was after the revocation of trade privileges in 1552 by King Edward VI. 1555 and 1556 at the London Court of St. James and at the Stalhof . After Fehling, the first bulwark of the port of Lübeck is said to have been built under his supervision and direction.

He was married to a daughter of the Livonia driver Peter Possick, whose sister Margarete († before 1529) was married to Johann Wigerinck .
