Winston Dang (Chinese: 陳重信; pinyin: Chén Zhòngxìn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tân Tiông-sìn; born 1943) is a Democratic Progressive Party politician in Taiwan.
Dang did his undergraduate education at Taipei Medical University and then moved to the United States to pursue further education, successively earning an M.A. from Columbia University, a Ph.D. from the City University of New York, and a M.P.H. from the Harvard School of Public Health.
Dang was appointed Minister for the Environment (heading the Environmental Protection Administration) by Chen Shui-bian after the 2004 elections, and renounced his U.S. citizenship to take up the position. His work as minister earned him the nickname "the over-educated garbage man". He served in the position until 2008, when he was succeeded by Stephen Shen.
