Chen Shui-bian [en chinois : 陳水扁, pinyin : Chén Shuǐbiǎn, EFEO : Tch'en Chouei-pien, Wade-Giles : Ch'en Shui-pien ; taïwanais : Tân Chúi-píⁿ] est un homme d'État de la république de Chine à Taïwan, né le 12 octobre 1950 à Tainan . Il a été président de la république de Chine pendant deux mandats consécutifs : du 20 mai 2000 au 20 mai 2008.
Membre du Parti démocratique progressiste, partisan de l'indépendance de l'île par rapport à la Chine continentale, il a été le premier chef de l'État à ne pas appartenir au Kuomintang, parti unique jusqu'en 1986. Le 11 septembre 2009, Chen Shui-bian est jugé coupable de corruption et détournement de fonds et condamné par la justice taïwanaise à la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité.
Chen a suscité une grande polarisation sur la scène politique taïwanaise. Ses partisans ont vu en lui un chef visionnaire et courageux, défendant la démocratie et la souveraineté de Taïwan contre la Chine continentale. Ses adversaires, en revanche, lui ont reproché vivement son dogmatisme, son côté flamboyant irresponsable et le danger qu'il a fait courir aux habitants de l'île par ses décisions concernant les relations Taïwan-Chine. Des chercheurs et spécialistes en relations internationales pensent cependant que Chen Shui-bian aurait dû adopter une politique extérieure vis-à-vis de la Chine semblable à celle de la Finlande à l'égard de l'ancienne URSS : ceci aurait permis aussi bien de préserver la souveraineté de Taïwan que de sauvegarder les profits économiques de l'île.
En prison, il a tenté de se suicider en juin 2013.
