The Green Party Taiwan (台灣綠黨, pinyin: Táiwān Lǜ Dǎng, Taiwanese: Tâi-ôan Le̍k Tóng) is a political party in Taiwan, active in the late 20th century, established on 25 January 1996. The party is not a member of and should not be confused with the Pan-Green Coalition. As its name suggests, the Green Party Taiwan focuses on environmental issues. Green Party Taiwan is a member of the Asia-Pacific Green Network and participates in the Global Greens.
In the 2008 legislative election, Green Party Taiwan formed a red-green coalition with a labour-led organization Raging Citizens Act Now! (人民火大行動聯盟)[1], but failed to win any seats.
