Chiang Wan-an (Chinese: 蔣萬安; born Chang Wan-an; 26 December 1978), also known as Wayne Chiang, is a Taiwanese politician and lawyer who has served as the mayor of Taipei since December 2022. He is the youngest mayor of Taipei since the appointment of Chang Feng-hsu.
Chiang was born in Taipei as the son of politician Chiang Hsiao-yen, who formerly served as a chairman of the Kuomintang. Because Chiang's father claims lineage to the prominent Chiang family, Chiang is believed to be a great-grandson of Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek.
Upon graduation from National Chengchi University and the University of Pennsylvania, Chiang worked as a corporate lawyer in the United States before returning to Taiwan for politics.
