Chen Hsiu-ching (Chinese: 陳秀卿; pinyin: Chén Xiùqīng; 25 October 1950 – 22 April 2011) was a Taiwanese politician.

She earned an Executive Master of Business Administration degree from Changhua Normal University and was first elected to the Legislative Yuan in 2004.[1][2] She won reelection against Chen Chin-ting of the Non-Partisan Solidarity Union in 2008, winning 44.96% of the vote.[3] The Congress Watch Foundation rated Chen Hsiu-ching one of the worst legislators in July 2008.[4] In 2009, she opposed an amendment to the Nationality Act proposed by Wu Yu-sheng that would have barred people holding permanent residency in another country from running for public office in Taiwan.[5] Chen died in office at the age of 60 on 22 April 2011, of adenocarcinoma of the lung.[6]

Outside of politics, Chen also served as spokesperson for the Kuang Feng Farmers' Association,[7] and frequently played the role of Mazu on television.[8]
