ISO 3166-2:TW defines codes for the subdivisions of Taiwan located on the islands of Taiwan (Formosa), Penghu (Pescadores), Kinmen, Matsu (Lienchiang), and their subsidiary islands. These areas are de facto under the administration of the government of the Republic of China which resides in Taipei. The government of the People's Republic of China, which resides in Beijing, also claims these islands but considers ROC-held Fujian islands of Kinmen and Matsu to be within its Fujian Province,{{cite web| url=http://www.mnr.gov.cn/zt/wh/wskt/wskt_syzs/201108/t20110823_2041644.html| title=中国的岛屿乡镇一览| publisher=Ministry of Natural Resources of the People's Republic of China| date=2011-08-23| access-date=2020-01-31| language=zh-hans| trans-title=China's Insular Townships at a Glance| quote={{lang|zh-Hans|六.福建省……连江县（台湾当局只控制了马祖列岛……）……金门县（全县台湾当局控制……）}}}}{{Dead link|date=August 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} not its nominal Taiwan Province (ISO 3166-2 code: {{mono|CN-TW}}).

Currently ISO 3166-2:TW lists 13 counties, three cities and six special municipalities. Constitutionally the counties and cities are part of the ROC provinces of Taiwan and Fujian, but since the provincial governments were largely streamlined in 1998 these 22 subdivisions are regarded as the principal subdivisions of Republic of China (Taiwan).
