The Embassy of Eswatini in Taipei (Chinese: 史瓦帝尼王國駐台大使館; pinyin: Shǐwǎdìní Wángguó Zhù Tái Dàshǐ Guǎn) is the embassy of Eswatini in Taipei, Republic of China (Taiwan). The two countries have had diplomatic relations since Swaziland's independence in 1968.[1] However, Swaziland was initially represented in Taipei by a Consulate.[2]

This tiny kingdom is one of the 13 countries that has diplomatic relations with Taiwan.[3] 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.[4]

Its counterpart body in Eswatini is the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in Mbabane, the Kingdom of Eswatini.[5]
