Wang Jin-pyng (Chinese: 王金平; pinyin: Wáng Jīnpíng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ông Kim-pêng; born March 17, 1941) is a Taiwanese politician. He served as President of the Legislative Yuan from 1999 to 2016, which makes him Taiwan's longest-serving legislative speaker. Once a leading figure of the Kuomintang (KMT), Wang is considered to be soft-spoken and a conciliatory figure who has often brokered deals between the KMT and opposition DPP. Due to his longevity, experience and influence in political scene, he is a widely respected figure in Taiwanese politics. He was replaced by Democratic Progressive Party's Su Jia-chyuan as president of the Legislative Yuan after a decisive victory for the DPP in the 2016 election.
