The World United Formosans for Independence (Chinese: 臺灣獨立建國聯盟; pinyin: Táiwān dúlì jiànguó liánméng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-oân To̍k-li̍p Kiàn-kok Liân-bêng), also known as WUFI, is an organization promoting Taiwan independence. It was established in 1970 by like-minded organizations in Canada, the U.S., Japan, Europe, and Taiwan. Its aim is to establish a Republic of Taiwan.

Pro-independence activist Ng Chiau-tong, who served as the Chairman of the WUFI from 1995 until 2011, died in office from complications of surgery on November 17, 2011.[1]
