Pasuya Yao or Yao Wen-chih (Chinese: 姚文智; pinyin: Yáo Wénzhì; Wade–Giles: Yao Wen-chih) is a Taiwanese politician. A member of the Democratic Progressive Party, he has served in the Legislative Yuan since 2012.
Yao, a former journalist, was named the minister of the Government Information Office in March 2005. By 2006, he had stepped down.
Yao ran for the mayoralty of Taipei City in the 2014 local elections. He won the first round of a party primary held in May, but lost to independent candidate Ko Wen-je in an opinion poll held the next month. The Democratic Progressive Party chose to back Ko's independent bid for the office, and he defeated Kuomintang candidate Sean Lien.
On 16 January 2016, Yao won the 2016 Republic of China legislative election for Taipei City 2nd constituency representing Shilin District and Datong District.
