Chiang Wan-an (Chinese: 蔣萬安; born Chang Wan-an; 26 December 1978), also known by his English name Wayne Chiang, is a Taiwanese politician and lawyer who has served as the mayor of Taipei since December 2022. A member of the Kuomintang (KMT), he is the youngest mayor in the history of the office.
Born to a prominent political family in Taipei, Chiang is believed to be a great-grandson of Chiang Kai-shek. After graduating from National Chengchi University, he earned three law degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and worked as a corporate lawyer in Silicon Valley.
From 2016 to 2022, he represented Taipei City Constituency 3 as a member of the Legislative Yuan. In the 2022 Taiwanese local elections, Chiang ran for the Taipei mayoralty, defeating former health minister Chen Shih-chung and former deputy mayor Huang Shan-shan.
