Chiu Yi-ying (Chinese: 邱議瑩; born 1 June 1971) is a Taiwanese politician. She has served four terms in the Legislative Yuan, one term in the National Assembly, and from 2005 to 2008 was the deputy minister of Hakka Affairs Council.
Chiu earned a master's in business administration from the Dominican University of California in the United States.
A member of the Democratic Progressive Party, Chiu had been elected to the Central Standing Committee by 2000. In 2016, she became chair of the committee.
Chiu won her first national-level office in 1996, serving on the National Assembly until 2000. Upon taking office, Chiu became the youngest assembly member at age 25. In 2001, she was elected to the Legislative Yuan as a representative of Pingtung County. Chiu was then appointed deputy minister of the Hakka Affairs Council in June 2005. Chiu was placed on the Democratic Progressive Party's proportional representation party list for the 2008 legislative elections and won, necessitating her resignation from the Hakka Affairs Council, where she was replaced by Peng Tien-fu. In 2012, Chiu defeated Kaohsiung 1 incumbent Chung Shao-ho and won reelection in 2016.
Chiu supported a 2003 amendment to Taiwanese copyright law that was unpopular with rapper Jeff Huang. Huang wrote a song titled "Retribution" about the amendment's supporters, two of whom, Chiu and Chang Hsueh-shun, sued him for libel. The Taipei District Court ruled in May 2007 that Huang was not guilty of libel.
Chiu has been involved in many altercations on the floor of the Legislative Yuan. In April 2009, Lee Ching-hua called Chiu a shrew, and in response, she hit him. In another instance, Chiu attempted to unplug a loudspeaker Kuomintang legislators were using to disrupt a review of the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement, while Chiang Kui-fang tried to stop her. While meeting as a member of the legislature's economics committee in November 2016, Chiu was overheard saying there was "no use talking to these huan-a," using a derogatory Hokkien word to refer to the opposition party. She later apologized.
