Chang Chun-hsiung (Chinese: 張俊雄; pinyin: Zhāng Jùnxióng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiuⁿ Chùn-hiông; 23 March 1938 – 27 September 2025) was a Taiwanese politician and lawyer. He was the prime minister of Taiwan from 2000 to 2002 and 2007 to 2008, both under Chen Shui-bian's presidency. His appointment by then-President Chen in 2000 was the first time a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) member became premier.

Chang died on 27 September 2025 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan at the age of 87.
