Wu Tse-yuan (Chinese: 伍澤元; pinyin: Wǔ Zéyuán; 17 August 1945 – 22 September 2008) was a Taiwanese politician, known for his involvement in black gold politics, and ties to gangs.

[6][7] As leader of the Taiwan Provincial Planning and Developing Department from 1988 to 1992, Wu began taking kickbacks from a company installing water pumps in Banqiao District.

[15][16] In January 2000, Wu Tse-yuan and Lien Chan were accused of land speculation in Wuqi, Taichung, dating back to 1993.

[18][19] A week later, the Executive Yuan proposed an amendment to the Public Officials Election and Recall Law targeting Wu and other politicians involved with black gold politics.

[21] He, Lo Fu-chu, and other legislators planned on founding a new political group affiliated with Lee Teng-hui in 2001,[22] but the proposal was postponed that July.
