Maciej Bolesław Lampe (born February 5, 1985) is a Polish former professional basketball player. Standing at 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m), he used to play at the power forward and center positions.

Originally from Łódź, Poland, Lampe grew up in Stockholm, Sweden. He played briefly for Real Madrid in the Spanish ACB League before being sent on loan to Universidad Complutense of the LEB, the second division level in Spain, to receive more playing time.

Lampe was selected by the NBA club the New York Knicks in the second round (30th overall) of the 2003 NBA draft as an early entry candidate, despite having been projected as a top five lottery pick. Lampe was elected to the 2003 Reebok Rocky Mountain Revue All-Revue Team after averaging 17.2 points and 7.0 rebounds in 32.4 minutes for the Knicks' summer league team. Lampe was traded to the Phoenix Suns on January 5, 2004, deal, and at the time, he became the youngest player in Suns history to appear in a regular season game, as well as the first Suns player to play while being 18 years old.

In January 2005, he got traded for the second time in his NBA career, this time to the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. On February 13, 2006, he was traded to the Houston Rockets for point guard Moochie Norris, making the Rockets his fourth NBA club. He played the total number of 61 games in NBA. He holds NBA career averages of 3.4 points per game, 2.2 rebounds per game, and 0.3 assists per game.

Lampe's final NBA game was played on April 4, 2006, in a 87–104 loss to the Seattle SuperSonics where he recorded 1 rebound in only 2 and half minutes of playing time. In 2010, he was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers to play on the Summer League team.

Lampe signed a one-year deal with the ULEB Cup (now called EuroCup) club Dynamo Saint Petersburg, however the team went bankrupt shortly thereafter. The bankrupt Dynamo squad was thrown out of the Russian Superleague A one day before the start of the season. Thus, Lampe moved to Khimki. In February 2008, Khimki beat CSKA Moscow in the Russian Cup final and Lampe was awarded the best player (MVP) of the cup final. He then signed a three-year contract extension with Khimki.

Lampe returned to Russia in January 2010, signing with UNICS Kazan. He was voted the 2010–11 season's Russian PBL MVP for the regular season.

Lampe signed a one-year deal with an option for another season with the Israeli Super League club Maccabi Tel Aviv in July 2009.
