Chen Chien-nien (Chinese: 陳建年; pinyin: Chén Jiànnián, Puyuma: Adulumau Daliyalrep; born 10 October 1947) is a former Taiwanese politician. Born in Taitung, Chen entered politics in 1981 as Taitung councillor representing the Kuomintang (KMT). He served as Taitung magistrate from 1993 to 2001. A member of the Puyuma tribe, he is the only indigenous politician to have served as a county magistrate in Taiwan. In 2002, Chen quit the KMT to accept the cabinet-level Minister of Council of Aboriginal Affairs post in Chen Shui-bian's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration.^[1] He resigned in 2005 due to a vote-buying charge, whilst continuing to maintain his innocence.^[2]^[3] Following a failed appeal to the Supreme Court in 2012, he was sentenced to nine months in jail.^[4]

Chen’s daughter Chen Ying (politician) is currently serving as a member of the Legislative Yuan.
