Wu Yi-chen (Chinese: 吳宜臻; pinyin: Wú Yízhēn; born 23 April 1970) is a Taiwanese lawyer and politician. She was born Wu Mei-hui and attended National Taiwan University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in law before obtaining a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from National Chiao Tung University. Prior to serving on the Legislative Yuan, Wu was leader of the Taipei Association for the Promotion of Women's Rights. Wu was nominated for an at-large legislative seat in 2011, representing the Democratic Progressive Party, and elected via party list proportional representation. She was named the DPP candidate for the magistracy of Miaoli County in April 2014. During the campaign, Wu pledged to establish a voting process for public construction projects in light of the Dapu incident. She also promised financial reform within the Miaoli County Government. Wu lost the magisterial election to Kuomintang candidate Hsu Yao-chang. She planned to contest Hsu's vacant legislative seat, but left the race after Sunflower Student Movement leader Chen Wei-ting launched an independent bid for the office. The Democratic Progressive Party pulled their support of Chen after he confirmed past allegations of sexual harassment, later asking Wu to rejoin the race.
