Chiu Chih-wei (; born 24 July 1972) is a Taiwanese politician and a member of the Legislative Yuan. A Hakka descent, he is a member of the Democratic Progressive Party.[1] He has a Ph.D. degree from the National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU). He served as Kaohsiung's chief of bureau of civil affairs between 2007 and 2011. He was elected into the Legislative Yuan representing Kaohsiung 2nd district since 2012.[2] He was reelected in 2016.
Chiu resigned his position as the chief of Kaohsiung Bureau of Civil Affairs in order to run for a seat in the 2012 election. In the 2012 election, he defeated a four-term veteran Lin Yi-shih in the general election, thus elected as the Member of Legislative Yuan for Kaohsiung 2. During his tenure, he served in two committees: Education and Cultural Committee and Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee.
As the 11th Legislative Yuan opened in 2024, Chiu founded the Taiwan-African Countries Parliamentary Friendship Association and the Taiwan–Central and South American and Caribbean Countries Parliamentary Friendship Association.[3]
