Tan Teng-pho (Chinese: 陳澄波; pinyin: Chén Chéngbō; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tân Têng-pho; 2 February 1895 – 25 March 1947), was a Taiwanese painter and politician.

[1] Tan devoted his life to education and creation, and was greatly concerned about the development of humanist culture in Taiwan.

Tan was born in Kagi (now known as Chiayi), a few months before the Japanese colonial period, into a poor family that could not invest in his artist talents.

[1] He enrolled in the Taiwan Governor-General's National Language School (臺灣總督府國語學校) in 1913, where he studied Western-style watercolor painting under Kinichiro Ishikawa.

Due to the February 28 Incident, severe conflict occurred in 1947 between the Chiayi citizens and the KMT, whose military was trapped inside the city's airport.

The "February 28 Incident Committee" was established, composed of Tan and five others who would approach the military as representatives of peace.

[1] Tan's work Chiayi Park was sold for $5,794,100 HKD at a Hong Kong auction on 28 April 2002.

[5] His paintings form the artwork for Lin Man-chiu's picture book 《戴帽子的女孩》[The Girl in the Hat][6] Tan's grandson Pu Hao-ming also became an artist.
