Taiwan–Caribbean relations refer to the diplomatic, economic, developmental, and people-to-people interactions between Taiwan (formally the Republic of China) and countries in the Caribbean region. The Caribbean has played a significant role in Taiwan's foreign relations, as several Caribbean states are among the small number of countries that maintain formal diplomatic recognition of Taiwan rather than the People's Republic of China (PRC). These relationships have been shaped by international competition for diplomatic recognition, development cooperation, and shifting regional and global geopolitics.

As of 2026, nine states in the Caribbean recognized the PRC and four recognized the ROC. The region has therefore remained one of the most important diplomatic strongholds for Taiwan in the Western Hemisphere.
