The "Republic of Taiwan" (ROT, Chinese: 臺灣共和國; pinyin: Táiwān Gònghégúo; Pe̍h-oē-jī: Tâi-oân Kiōng-hô-kok) means a proposed republican state that claims independence sovereignty based on the self-determination of Taiwanese people. It is closely related to the Taiwan independence movement in a radical or narrow sense, and should be distinguished from Huadu, means Republic of China independence.

The "Republic of Taiwan" was advocated and circulated among Taiwan independence activists in the second half of the 1920s during the Taiwan under Japanese rule. After the end of the World War II, Island of Taiwan was taken over by the Republic of China (ROC), and after the impact of the February 28 incident, Taiwan independence activists centered on Taiwanese Thomas Liao founded the Provisional Government of the Republic of Taiwan (台灣共和國臨時政府) in 1956 in Tokyo, Japan.
