The German Institute Taipei (German: Deutsches Institut Taipei); (Chinese: 德國在台協會; pinyin: Déguó Zài Tái Xiéhuì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tek-kok chāi Tâi Hia̍p-hōe) is the overseas representative office of Germany in Taiwan, which promotes the non-diplomatic German-Taiwanese relations[3] and looks after German interests there.[4] Tasks of the institution includes the increasing of bilateral cooperation (especially in the field of culture and economy),[3] dealing with consular affairs like Visa or passport, providing a variety of services for German citizens in Taiwan[5] and German-related information to Taiwanese people.[1] In some instances, it maintains contacts with Taiwanese government on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany, acting as a de facto embassy.[6] Institute affairs are led by a Director General (German: Generaldirektor), who acts as the German representative to Taiwan.[7]

Its counterpart in Germany is the Taipei Representative Office in the Federal Republic of Germany in Berlin.[8]
