The Taiwan High Prosecutors Office (THPO; Chinese: 臺灣高等檢察署; pinyin: Táiwān Gāoděng Fǎyuàn Jiǎnchá Shǔ) is located in Taipei, Taiwan. The territorial jurisdiction covers the jurisdictions of Taipei, Shilin, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Keelung and Yilan District Prosecutors Offices. It has branch offices in Taipei, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien and Taichung. It is one of the two high prosecutors offices in Taiwan.
The prosecutorial system runs parallel to its court system. As such, the jurisdiction of the THPO and its branch offices covers only Taiwan and its islands. Kinmen, Wuchiu and Matsu fall under the jurisdiction of the Kinmen Branch of the Fukien High Prosecutors Office. At whatever level, the prosecutors work under the unitary command of the Prosecutor-General of the Supreme Prosecutors Office.
