Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (IOC code: TPE; traditional Chinese: 中華奧林匹克委員會; simplified Chinese: 中华奥林匹克委员会; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Àolínpǐkè Wěiyuánhuì; literally: "Chinese Olympic Committee") is the National Olympic Committee representing Chinese Taipei (formally the Republic of China, commonly known as Taiwan).

In 1979, the International Olympic Committee passed a resolution in Nagoya, Japan, resuming the rights of the Chinese Olympic Committee in the IOC, and meanwhile renaming the Taipei-based Olympic Committee as "Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee".[1]
