Patung-patung Chiang Kai-shek (Hanzi: 蔣公銅像; Pinyin: Jiǎng Gōng Tóngxiàng; harfiah: 'Patung Perunggu Presiden Chiang' atau Hanzi: 蔣介石雕像; Pinyin: Jiǎngjièshí diāoxiàng) adalah patung-patung dari Presiden Republik Tiongkok Chiang Kai-shek. Patung-patung tersebut ditemukan di nyaris setiap tempat di Taiwan, dari taman hingga sekolah dan pangkalan militer, dan biasanya terbuat dari perunggu, meskipun memiliki keragaman dari tempat ke tempat.[1][2]
Beberapa patung disingkirkan sejak 1999,[3] dengan penyingkiran berskala besar dimulai pada 2007 di bawah inisiatif pemerintahan pimpin Partai Progresif Demokrat yang pro-kemerdekaan Taiwan, yang berujung pada unjuk rasa dan perlawanan atas dasar budaya dan sejarah.[4] Semenjak gerakan untuk menyingkirkan patung-patung Chiang dimulai, sekelompok orang mulai memvandalisasi patung-patung tersebut, khususnya bertepatan dengan peringatan Insiden 228.[5]

Cihu Residence is near several famous scenic spots such as Shihmen Reservoir, Daxi Old Street and Lala Mountain, and the Taoyuan County government therefore established the Cihu Sculpture Memorial Park, the only memorial garden in Taiwan dedicated to sculptures of President Chiang. The park is used to hold sculptures of Chiang that have been collected from locations all over Taiwan, and in the process has become a unique theme park of installation art. As of 2008 there were a total of 152 sculptures of Chiang in the park, with the most symbolic one featuring the generalissimo on horseback.
