The Chinese Taipei women's national football team () represents Taiwan (Republic of China) in international women's football and is controlled by the Chinese Taipei Football Association, the governing body for football in Taiwan.
History
Under the Asian Ladies Football Confederation
A women's national football team was form to represent Taiwan in the mid-1970s. Taiwan was among the founding members of the now defunct Asian Ladies Football Confederation (ALFC) along with Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore in 1968. Republic of China debuted at the Asian Women's Championship in 1977 which it won. They were also the champions at the 1980 and 1981 editions.
However China (People's Republic of China) having successfully petitioned the Asian Football Confederation to ban Taiwan to compete under the name of "Republic of China" due to its One China policy in 1974, have also applied pressure to the ALFC. In 1981, the Republic of China FA was renamed as the Chinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA). For the 1981 Asian Women's Championship, the ALFC convinced Taiwan to compete under the name Mulan Taipei. The ALFC within the 1980s was absorbed into the AFC.
Oceania representatives
Taiwan, now Chinese Taipei, briefly moved to the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC). They won the 1986 and 1989 OFC Women's Championships.
Readmission to the AFC
Chinese Taipei were re-admitted to the AFC in 1989. Chinese Taipei is among the three Asian teams which qualified in the inaugural FIFA Women's World Cup in 1991 along with Japan and host China.
It also took part at the Women's World Invitational Tournament which was organized by Taiwan's football federation from 1978 to 1987.
The team have also continued to compete in the Asian Women's Championship (later known as the AFC Women's Asian Cup) since its return to the AFC, finishing no lower than fourth until 1999.
Chinese Taipei returned to the AFC Women's Asian Cup in 2022. They reached the quarterfinals, losing to the Philippines via a shootout and consequentially missing qualification for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Nicknames
The Chinese Taipei women's national football team has been known or nicknamed as "Mulan". The nickname was adopted by the national federation during the tenure of then-chairman General Cheng Wei-yuan in 1975 after the Chinese folk heroine Hua Mulan. After the Chinese Taipei Football Association adopted a new logo featuring a Formosan blue magpie in the 2010s, the Blue Magpies has also been used as an unofficial moniker.
