The Tainan University of Technology (TUT; Traditional Chinese: 台南科技大學; Tai-nan Ke-gi Da-shue), also known as Tainan Tech (台南科大; Tai-nan Ke-da), is a private university serving appoximately 10,000 students in the Tainan metropolitan area in southern Taiwan. The main campus sits adjacent to the eastern border of Tainan City in the municipality of Yongkang in Tainan County.

The school, founded in 1964 to provide professional training for women, opened its doors in 1965 as the Private Tainan Junior College of Home Economics. The school has subsequently worn the names Tainan Women's College of Arts and Technology (1997-2006) and the Tainan University of Technology. The university graduated its first male students in June 2007.

Tainan Tech is historically strong in the fields of music, visual art, arts technology, education, finance, product design and fashion design. Since 2002 the school has added graduate programs in music, business management, art and applied sciences.

The campus is famed for its international horticulture and outdoor art. The landscaping facilitates a commencement ritual: a circumnavigation of the campus by graduates, who process through a series of floral trellises and, finally, under a line of decorated arches held aloft by younger classmates.
