The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Macau (TECO; Chinese: 臺北經濟文化辦事處; pinyin: Táiběi Jīngjì Wénhuà Bànshìchù) is the representative office of the Republic of China in Macau. Its counterpart body in Taiwan is the Macau Economic and Cultural Office in Taiwan.
The office is located at Dynasty Plaza building in Sé.
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Macau, previously known as the Taipei Trade and Tourism Office in Macau between 1989 and 1999 and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in Macau (Chinese: 臺北經濟文化中心; pinyin: Táiběi Jīngjì Wénhuà Zhōngxīn) between 1999 and 2011, was established in Macau in 1989 during Portuguese rule.
Until 1967, Taipei was represented in Macau by the Special Commissariat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China. However, following the "12-3" riots in 1966, the Portuguese government agreed to close it down, as well as ban all pro-Kuomintang activities. As a result, the opening of the then Taipei Trade and Tourism Office prompted concerns from the local branch of the Xinhua News Agency, the People's Republic of China's de facto mission in Macau, which threatened to protest to the Macau authorities "if anything went wrong".
