Chung Chia-pin (Chinese: 鍾佳濱; born 1965) is a Taiwanese politician. He served on the National Assembly from 1996 to 2000. He was elected to the Legislative Yuan in 2016.
Chung received his primary and secondary education from schools in his native Pingtung County. He then earned a bachelor's degree in history from National Taiwan University. He was active as a student activist in the 1980s and helped lead the Wild Lily movement of 1990. Chen later earned a master's of science degree from National Pingtung University of Science and Technology.
Chung was elected to the National Assembly in 1996 and served until 2000. During Su Chia-chyuan's tenure as Pingtung County Magistrate, Chung worked for Su as a secretary. Later, Chung worked for the Council for Cultural Affairs under chairwoman Tchen Yu-chiou. Chung has also served the Democratic Progressive Party as deputy secretary-general under Chang Chun-hsiung. In this position, he acted as spokesman for the party in the 2004 legislative elections, and offered to resign after the Pan-Green Coalition failed to win a majority. He joined the People Sovereignty Action Network and protested the 2010 signing of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement. By 2012, Chung had been named deputy magistrate of Pingtung under Tsao Chi-hung. Chung acted as Pingtung County Government spokesman during the 2014 Taiwan food scandal, accusing the Ministry of Health and Welfare of "setting up" Pingtung in a leak of confidential information to Ting Hsin International Group, one of the companies involved in the food scare.
