Chen Chi-chuan -- Frank C. Chen (; June 6, 1898 – May 11, 1993), also known as Tan Khe-chhoan was a member of the "Chen family from Kaohsiung". He was a Taiwanese politician and businessman who served as the mayor of Kaohsiung between 1960 and 1968, and the co-founder and chair of Kaohsiung Medical College. Chen is a son of Chen Chung-he (陳中和), a sugar industrialist in the Japanese-ruled Taiwan.

Today, the Chen Chi Chuan (Frank C. Chen) Cultural Foundation https://www.frank-chen.org.tw/ promotes both the legacy of the former mayor and cultural events and resources for the citizens of Kaohsiung, a city that's been home to the Chen family for over 300 years. In 2021, the Frank C. Chen Foundation sponsored "Formosa Files,[1] " a podcast about the history of Taiwan hosted by longtime Taiwan residents John G. Ross and Eryk Michael Smith.
