Taoyuan County (traditional Chinese: 桃園縣; simplified Chinese: {{{s}}}; Hanyu Pinyin: Táoyuán Xiàn; Tongyong Pinyin: Táoyuán Siàn; Wade-Giles: {{{w}}}; Taiwanese POJ: Thô-hng-kōan) is a county of Taiwan, located in the northwestern part of the island, next to Taipei County. Taoyuan City is located in this county and serves as the seat of Taoyuan County.
