No athlete representing Chinese Taipei has yet won an Olympic Winter Games medal of any colour.

At Beijing 2022, Chinese Taipei took part in Alpine skiing for the first time since Albertville 1992, as well as luge and speed skating. In Alpine skiing, Lee Wen-Yi finished 50th in women's slalom, while Ho Ping-Jui was unable to finish the men's slalom. In luge, Lin Sin-Rong finished 31st in women's singles, while speed skater Huang Yu-Ting contested three events with a best finish of 24th in the women's 1000m. Huang was the only Olympic veteran for Chinese Taipei in Beijing, having taken part at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games where her 20th-place finish in the women's 1000m remains Chinese Taipei's highest finish in any event at the Winter Games since figure skater David Liu finished 17th in men's singles at Albertville 1992.
