Chang Chia-juch (Chinese: 張家祝; pinyin: Zhāng Jiāzhù) (born 25 June, 1950 in Shanghai) was the Minister of Economic Affairs of the Republic of China from 2013 to 2014.

A native of Shanghai, Chang obtained his bachelor's degree in civil engineering from National Cheng Kung University. He continued his master's degree in the same field from San Jose State University in the United States and his doctoral degree in transportation engineering from Purdue University.

In mid April 2013, commenting on Taiwan's fourth nuclear power plant construction, Chang said that the power plant has undergone rigorous integration and testing, therefore it is inappropriate to call the plant as an "assembled car". He added that the MOEA has created a team to inspect the overall system of the plant over the next six months to end the controversy.

Speaking at an automotive trade show in mid April 2013, Chang spoke about Taiwan's young electric vehicle industry. In the midst of growing world oil price and rising environmental awareness, he said that the MOEA is currently considering efforts to lower the cost of manufacturing, marketing and distributing electric vehicles to general public.
