Chang San-cheng (Chinese: 張善政; pinyin: Zhāng Shànzhèng; born 24 June 1954),[1] also known by his English name Simon Chang,[2] is a Taiwanese politician who has been the mayor of Taoyuan City since 25 December 2022. He was premier of Taiwan from 1 February 2016 (de facto; 18 January 2016 as the acting premier) until 20 May 2016, appointed by President Ma Ying-jeou.[3] Before assuming the premiership, he had served as vice premier from 8 December 2014 under the Mao Chi-kuo cabinet.[4][5][6][7] Chang was the first nonpartisan premier of Taiwan.
Chang began an independent campaign for the 2020 Taiwanese presidential election, then suspended his run to join the Kuomintang ticket, headed by Han Kuo-yu. The pair lost to incumbent president Tsai Ing-wen and her running mate William Lai.
