Chen Cheng-sheng (Chinese: 陳振盛; pinyin: Chén Zhènshèng; born 26 January 1950) is a Taiwanese politician who served in the Legislative Yuan from 1999 to 2002.

Chen attended Shih Hsin University, National Chung Hsing University, Tunghai University, and Chinese Culture University, where he received a doctorate in history.[1][2]

After graduation, Chen worked for the Taiwan Provincial Government and grew close to Chiang Ching-kuo.[2] He represented the New Party in the 1997 Nantou County magistracy election, but withdrew from the party after losing to Peng Pai-hsien.[2] Chen was elected to the legislature as an independent in 1998.[2][3] In 2000, he joined the People First Party and was named the PFP's caucus leader.[4][5] Chen also served as the party's spokesperson.[6] In 2009, Chen ran for the Nantou County Magistracy as a Non-Partisan Solidarity Union candidate after his expulsion from the Kuomintang.[7][8] He finished third in the election.[9] In August 2011, Chen was named the People First Party candidate for Taipei 6th district.[10][11] He was linked to Hsu Hsin-ying in 2015,[12] who later split from the Kuomintang to found her own party, the Minkuotang.
