Bulgaria–Taiwan relations refer to the relations between Bulgaria (formally the Republic of Bulgaria) and Taiwan (formally the Republic of China).

Bulgaria and the Republic of China established diplomatic relations in 1941 during World War II, but these were severed in 1949 following the ROC government's retreat to Taiwan and the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC).

In 1949, Bulgaria became one of the first countries to recognize the PRC, and since then, relations between Bulgaria and Taiwan have been conducted on a non-diplomatic level through representative offices that function as de facto embassies.

Although they do not maintain formal diplomatic ties, Bulgaria and Taiwan have developed cooperative links in economics, trade, culture, and education, and share values such as democracy, freedom, and human rights.
