Chiang Tai-Chuan (simplified Chinese: 江泰权; traditional Chinese: 江泰權; pinyin: Jiāng Tàiquán; born October 26, 1960 in Chiayi, Taiwan) is a retired Taiwanese professional baseball player (position:outfielder) and currently a baseball coach. He is best known for being the first baseball player to compete in 3 consecutive Olympic Games: in the 1984, 1988 and 1992 Olympics where he won a bronze medal in 1984(as demonstration sport) and silver medal in 1992.

A member of China Times Eagles' amateur forerunner Black Eagles since 1990, after the 1992 Summer Olympics Chiang originally planned to join CPBL along with this soon-to-be-professionalized club. However in November 1992 the Eagles accidentally traded him to Uni-President Lions due to its unfamiliarity with CPBL's trading rules. Chiang stayed with the Lions until the end of 1996 season. Before CPBL's 1997 season started, Chiang planned to transfer to then just-established Koos Groups Whales, but also in this time CPBL expelled him after he was confirmed to be involved in the The Black Eagles Incident. Chiang was forced to retire after this scandal and he later found a coaching job in the China Baseball League. He currently coaches Tianjin Lions.
