National Chengchi University (Chinese: 國立政治大學; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kok-li̍p Chèng-tī Tāi-ha̍k; lit. 'National Political Science University') is a public research university in Taipei, Taiwan. The university is also considered as the earliest public service training facility of Taiwan. First established in Nanjing in 1927, the university was subsequently relocated to Taipei and resumed full operation in 1954 as the first re-established "National University" in Taiwan.

The university, abbreviated as NCCU, specializes in arts and humanities, mass media, linguistics and literature, social sciences, economics, management, politics, and international affairs.[9][10] It is the only publicly-funded university in Taiwan to provide courses in journalism, advertising, radio and television, diplomacy, and several languages that are not taught at other institutions in Taiwan. The name Chengchi (政治) means governance or politics, and refers to its founding in 1927 as a training institution for senior civil servants for the Nanjing Nationalist government of the Republic of China. The university has ties with academic institutions like Academia Sinica, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, National Taiwan University and the National Palace Museum.[11][12]

The NCCU is also a member of the University System of Taiwan and University Alliance in Talent Education Development (UAiTED).[13][2]
