Chen Kuei-miao (Chinese: 陳癸淼; pinyin: Chén Guǐmiǎo; 1 July 1934 – 15 August 2014) was a Taiwanese politician

While serving as acting Mayor of Tainan in 1985, Chen was affiliated with the Kuomintang.[1] He was first elected to the Legislative Yuan in 1989, and represented Taiwan's 16th district, encompassing Penghu County. He was reelected to the Penghu County legislative seat in 1992,[2] and in the midst of his second term, cofounded the New Party, in 1993.[1][3] Chen was reelected to a third legislative term in 1995, via the New Party proportional representation party list.[4] Chen was one of many legislators to be implicated in a wide-ranging insider trading scandal that also affected Andrew Oung, among others.[5]

Chen Kuei-miao and other politicians broke away from the ruling Kuomintang in opposition to the rule of then KMT chairman and President of Taiwan, Lee Teng-hui.[1]
