Chang San-cheng (Chinese: 張善政; pinyin: Zhāng Shànzhèng; born 24 June 1954),[1] also known by his English name Simon Chang,[2] is a Taiwanese civil engineer, academic, and politician who has served as the mayor of Taoyuan City since 2022. He previously served as Premier of Taiwan from 1 February 2016 to 20 May 2016 after being appointed by President Ma Ying-jeou.[3] Before assuming the premiership, he had served as vice premier from 8 December 2014 under the Mao Chi-kuo cabinet.[4][5][6][7] Chang was the first nonpartisan premier of Taiwan.
Before entering politics, Chang graduated from National Taiwan University and earned a master's degree from Stanford University and his doctorate from Cornell University in engineering. He began an independent campaign for the 2020 Taiwanese presidential election, then suspended his run to join the Kuomintang ticket, headed by Han Kuo-yu. The pair lost to incumbent president Tsai Ing-wen and her running mate William Lai.
