Taiwan (tidligere Formosa, traditionel kinesisk 臺灣, forenklet 台湾, pinyin: Táiwān; taiwansk: Tâi-oân) er en ø øst for det kinesiske fastland, der nu udgør størstedelen af Republikken Kina, skilt af det 120-170 km brede Fukienstræde eller Formosastræde.

Kinas nationalistregering, der havde regeret hele Kina siden 1911, flygtede, med Chiang Kai-shek i spidsen, til Taiwan i 1949 efter at være slået af kommunisterne i den kinesiske borgerkrig.

Tidligere blev Taiwan, på europæisk, kaldt Formosa.

Indtil 1971 var Taiwan, under betegnelsen Kina, permanent medlem af FNs sikkerhedsråd.
