The Cape Eluanbi (Chinese: 鵝鑾鼻; pinyin: Éluánbí; Wade–Giles: O2-luan2-pi2; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Gô-lôan-phīⁿ) is a cape in Hengchun Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan.

The Hokkien name Gô-lôan (Chinese: 鵝鑾; pinyin: Éluán) derives from Goran, the term for the noun "sail" in the Paiwan language of Paiwan people, one of the groups of Taiwanese aborigines. The word phīⁿ (Chinese: ; pinyin: bi) means "nose", referring to the shape of a large stone in the nearby Banana Bay (香蕉灣). During Japanese rule, the name was usually written in katakana or Kanji (Japanese: ガランピ/鵞鑾鼻; rōmaji: Garambi).
