New Taipei (Chinese: 新北市; pinyin: Xīnběi Shì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sin-pak-chhī) is the most populous city of Taiwan. The area includes a substantial stretch of the island's northern coastline and surrounds the Taipei Basin. New Taipei is bordered by Keelung to the northeast, Yilan County to the southeast, and Taoyuan County to the southwest; it surrounds Taipei.

New Taipei City had been administered as Taipei County (Chinese: 臺北縣 or 台北縣 Táiběixiàn) of Taiwan Province until it was upgraded to a special municipality of the Republic of China on December 25, 2010. It at once surpassed Yokohama as the world's most populated suburb.
