The Embassy of Eswatini in Taipei (Chinese: 史瓦濟蘭王國駐台大使館; pinyin: Shǐwǎjìlán Wángguó Zhù Tái Dàshǐ Guǎn) is the embassy of Eswatini in Taipei, Republic of China (Taiwan).

This tiny kingdom is one of the 15 countries that has diplomatic relations with Taiwan.[4] After the diplomatic breakdown between Burkina Faso and Taiwan in May 2018, Eswatini is the only country in Africa which has no diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.[5]

Its counterpart body in Eswatini is the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in Mbabane, the Kingdom of Eswatini.[6]
