Hsu Yung-ming (Chinese: 徐永明; born 15 May 1966) is a Taiwanese political scientist, pollster, and politician.
Hsu earned his doctoral degree in political science from the University of Michigan in 1999 before beginning his teaching career at National Chung Cheng University. In the mid-2000s, Hsu was a political analyst and research fellow at Academia Sinica's Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences. He later joined the faculty of Soochow University, where he taught political science, and served as director of the Taiwan Brain Trust think tank.
Citing survey data from the Mainlander Taiwanese Association, Hsu opined in 2005 that differing views of the 228 Incident are no longer an ethnic issue, but instead a cross-party conflict. He has criticized the Kuomintang and People First Party's electoral strategy in the 2000 presidential elections, comparing it to the Democratic Party's loss in the United States presidential elections held that same year. Shortly after the 2006 protests led by Shih Ming-te, Hsu wrote that the proposed formation of a third presidential ticket in the 2008 election would have taken more votes from the Democratic Progressive Party, leading to an easy Kuomintang victory. The KMT won that election without the materialization of a third-party candidate.
Hsu believes that increased economic cooperation between Taiwan and China is a manifestation of dependency theory.
