The Central Committee of the Kuomintang is the highest executive body of the Kuomintang. It is composed of Central Committee members elected by the National Congress. The entire organization includes a group of cadres headed by the chairman and several party affairs units.

The Chairman of the Central Committee is concurrently the Party Chairman, a position directly elected by Party members since 2001. In August 1993, the position of Vice Chairman was added to assist the Chairman. The Central Committee consists of seven departments and two subordinate units, led by the Secretary-General, who are jointly responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Party Central Committee.

The Central Committee has a Standing Committee which performs its duties during the adjournment period of the plenary sessions of the Central Committee and is accountable to it.
