Audrey Tang (Chinese: 唐鳳; pinyin: Táng Fèng; born 18 April 1981) is a Taiwanese politician and free software programmer who served as the first Minister of Digital Affairs of Taiwan from August 2022 to May 2024.

[7] Lee Ya-ching helped develop Taiwan's first consumer co-operative, and co-developed an experimental primary school employing indigenous teachers.

[2] By the year 2000, at the age of 19, Tang had already held positions in software companies, and worked in California's Silicon Valley as an entrepreneur.

[10] In late 2005, Tang began transitioning to female, including changing her English and Chinese names, citing a need to reconcile her outward appearance with her self-image.

[10][15][16] Tang initiated and led the Pugs project, a joint effort from the Haskell and Perl programming language communities to implement the Perl 6 language;[17] Tang also made contributions to internationalization and localization efforts for several Free Software programs, including SVK (a version-control software written in Perl for which Tang also wrote a large portion of the code), Request Tracker, and Slash, created Ethercalc,[18] building on Dan Bricklin's work on WikiCalc and their work together on SocialCalc, as well as heading Traditional Chinese translation efforts for various open source-related books.

The prime minister invited Tang to build media literacy curricula for Taiwan's schools, which was implemented in late 2017.

[23][24] At age 35, Tang was the youngest minister without portfolio in Taiwanese history[25] and was given this role to bridge the gap between the older and younger generations.

[22] As of 2017, Tang was working on sharing economy software that would facilitate the free exchange of resources in abundance instead of the ride-sharing and peer hotel applications for which the technology is known.

[31] In May 2024, upon the inauguration of Lai Ching-te as the new president of Taiwan, Tang was replaced by Huang Yen-nun as minister for digital affairs.
