Taiwan–Middle East relations (Chinese: 臺灣與中東之間的關係; Tongyong Pinyin: Táiwān yǔ jhōng dōng jhī jiān de guānsī; Tâi-lô: Tâi-uân kah tiong-tang tsi-kan-ê kuan-hē, Arabic: العلاقات بين تايوان والشرق الأوسط, romanizedalealaqat bayn taywan walsharq al'awsat) refer to the political, economic, and societal interactions between Taiwan (officially the Republic of China) and countries in the Middle East. These relations have been shaped by shifting global geopolitics, competition between the Republic of China (ROC) and the People's Republic of China (PRC), energy trade, and evolving forms of people-to-people engagement. While Taiwan currently maintains no formal diplomatic relations with Middle Eastern states, economic ties, unofficial representation, and citizen diplomacy continue to play a significant role.
