John Wu or Wu Chih-yang (Chinese: 吳志揚; pinyin: Wú Zhìyáng) is a Taiwanese politician. He was the Magistrate of Taoyuan County from 2009 to 2014.
Wu obtained his bachelor's and master's degree in law from National Taiwan University. He then obtained his master's degree in law from Harvard University from the United States.
Wu was elected to be the Magistrate of Taoyuan County on 5 December 2009 after winning the 2009 Republic of China local election under Kuomintang and assumed office position on 20 December 2009.
In July 2014, it was announced that Taoyuan County would be renamed Taoyuan and reclassified as a special municipality by the end of the year. The county-controlled city, known officially as Taoyuan City, was to be renamed Taoyuan District.
In 2014, Wu joined the 2014 Republic of China municipal election to be the Kuomintang Mayor candidate of the soon to be formed Taoyuan City, going against Cheng Wen-tsan of the Democratic Progressive Party. However, he lost to Cheng.
