Chin-Feng Chen (b. October 28, 1977, in Tainan City, Taiwan) (Traditional Chinese: 陳金鋒; pinyin: Chén Jīnfēng) is a baseball outfielder who was the first player born in the Republic of China (Taiwan) to play in Major League Baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers. During parts of the 2002 to 2004 seasons, the Dodgers have called him up to the majors, but he has only played sparingly. In 2005, when they did the same thing with him, Chen wondered openly whether to refuse an assignment back to their AAA team, the Las Vegas 51s to instead try to catch on with another major league team or return to play for the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) in Taiwan, but eventually did agree to return to Las Vegas. After his contract with the Dodgers organization expired after the 2005 season, Chen announced on December 26, 2005, that, in order to stay closer to his parents, he would not return to North America for the 2006 season, but would instead enter the CPBL draft. He was promptly selected by the La New Bears.

Since Chen's debut, three other Taiwanese baseball players have played in MLB: the Colorado Rockies' Chin-hui Tsao, the New York Yankees' Chien-Ming Wang, and the Dodgers' Hong-Chih Kuo.
