Chinese Taipei are competing at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, from 28 August to 8 September. "Chinese Taipei" is the designated name used by Taiwan to participate in some international organizations and almost all sporting events, including the Paralympic Games. Neither the common name "Taiwan" nor the official name "Republic of China" would be used primarily because of its opposition from the People's Republic of China.
