Chen Chih-yuan (Chinese: 陳致遠; Wade–Giles: Chen2 Chih4 Yuan3; born October 27, 1976 in Taoyuan County, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese aborigine (tribe:Amis) former professional baseball player (position: outfielder). A well-known slugger since college era in the Fu Jen Catholic University, Chen had been a frequent member of the Chinese Taipei national baseball team between 1997 and 2004, participating the 2004 Summer Olympics in which he hit a home run in the match against Greece. In professional career, Chen joined the Brother Elephants of CPBL in mid-2001 and had been a bright star of the team.
After the 2009 CPBL season Chen had been under investigation for game-fixing allegations. Although Chen denied any wrongdoings, the Banqiao District Prosecutors' Office still indicted him for gambling and fraud on February 10, 2010. Chen was immediately expelled as a result, ending his professional baseball career.
Since December 2010, Chen runs a barbecue restaurant in Hualien City along with his former Brother Elephants teammate Chin-hui Tsao who was also expelled by CPBL due to game-fixing allegation.
Chen married local starlet Lin Hsiu-Chin (林秀琴) in 2005 and they had a daughter.
