Lee Yi-ting (Chinese: 李乙廷; pinyin: Lǐ Yǐtíng; 1954 or 1955 – 20 February 2026) was a Taiwanese politician.

Early life and education

Lee was raised in Houlong and attended National Taichung University of Science and Technology.[1][2]

Political career

Lee led several local agricultural organizations and worked for the Houlong Township Office before seeking election to the Legislative Yuan.[3]

Both Lee and fellow Kuomintang member Kang Shih-ju planned to run in the January 2008 legislative elections, and the party chose to back Lee.[4] He was elected to the Legislative Yuan in January 2008, defeating Democratic Progressive Party incumbent Tu Wen-ching.[5] A few weeks after the election, the Miaoli District Prosecutors Office charged Lee with vote buying.[6] The Taichung bench of the Taiwan High Court upheld the ruling of the Miaoli District Court in December, annulling Lee's electoral victory.[7] By-elections were scheduled for 14 March 2009,[8] and the Kuomintang named Lee's wife Chen Luan-ing as its candidate.[9] She lost to Kang Shih-ju, a candidate who had left the KMT to plan an independent campaign.[10]

In 2022, Lee served as acting mayor of Sanwan, succeeding Wen Chih-chiang.[11][12]

Death

Lee died on 20 February 2026, at the age of 71.[13][14]
