Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan (TECO; Chinese: 臺北駐日經濟文化代表處; pinyin: Táiběi Zhùrì Jīngjì Wénhuà Dàibiǎo Chù, Japanese 台北駐日経済文化代表処 Taihoku Zainichi Keizai Bunka Daihyou Sho) represents the interests of Taiwan in Japan, functioning as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomatic relations. It is operated by the Taiwan–Japan Relations Association (Chinese: 臺灣日本關係協會; pinyin: Táiwān Rìběn Guānxì Xiéhuì), a parastatal agency of the government.

Its Japanese counterpart is the Japan–Taiwan Exchange Association in Taipei.
