The Embassy of the Republic of China in the Kingdom of Eswatini (Chinese: 中華民國駐史瓦帝尼王國大使館; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínguó Zhù Shǐwǎdìní Wángguó Dàshǐguǎn) is the embassy of the Republic of China (ROC; commonly called Taiwan) in Mbabane, Eswatini. The two countries have had diplomatic relations since Eswatini's independence in 1968.[2]

Eswatini is one of the 13 countries that recognise the ROC.[3] As of 2019, it is the only country in Africa that does not have diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China due to the One China Policy.[4]

It is one of five diplomatic missions in the country, along with the American embassy, the South African and Mozambique High Commissions, and an Qatari embassy.[5][6]

The Embassy also has responsibility for Mozambique.[7] However, it is not accredited to Maputo, as Mozambique has maintained diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China since its independence from Portugal in 1975.[4]

Its counterpart body in Taiwan is the Embassy of Eswatini, Taipei.[8]
