Jhongli, also spelled Chungli (traditional Chinese: 中壢市; simplified Chinese: 中坜市; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhōnglì Shì; Tongyong Pinyin: jhōnglì Shìh; Wade-Giles: Chung-li shih; Taiwanese POJ: Tiong-le̍k-chhī; Jhuyin Fuhao: ㄓㄨㄥ ㄌ一ˋ ㄕˋ), is a city in Taoyuan County of Taiwan (ROC). It became a city before Taoyuan City. Historically, the city is the stage of the Chung-li incident (中壢事件 ) of 1977, the most significant event of the democratization movements of Taiwan prior to the 1980s. Ethnically, it is considered a kind of capital city for the Hakka people who live in great numbers here and in surrounding areas. In recent years a large number of foreign workers (mainly from the Philippines and Thailand) have also settled in and around the city, making it a center for foreign laborers.

Jhongli is served by both National Highway No. 1 and Provincial Highway No. 66. The nationally owned e-go highway buses, near the Jhongli Train Station, are an inexpensive means of transport to other cities. In addition, the Jhongli TRA Train Station provides fast connections to other Taiwanese cities. As of 2007, Jhongli also has its own Taiwan High Speed Rail terminal.
