Taiwan–Latin America relations refers to the diplomatic, economic, and cultural relations between Taiwan (officially the Republic of China, ROC) and countries in Latin America. Since 1949, relations have been shaped by competition between Taiwan and China (officially the People's Republic of China, PRC) for diplomatic recognition, as well as by trade, development cooperation, and shared political values such as democracy and constitutional governance.

Although Taiwan once maintained diplomatic ties with a larger number of countries in the region, the number of states recognizing Taipei has declined in the 21st century as several governments switched recognition to Beijing. As of 2026, eight countries in Latin America and the Caribbean maintain formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan: Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Belize, Haiti, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
