Chiang Nan (江南) (??-October 15, 1984) was the pen name of Taiwanese-American writer Henry Liu (劉宜良).

Chiang Nan was a vocal critic of the Kuomintang. He wrote an unauthorized biography of Chiang Ching-kuo, former President of the Republic of China. He became a naturalized citizen of the United States.

On October 15, 1984, he was assassinated in Daly City, California. Allegedly, the Kuomintang intelligence agency was involved in his assassination. The assassination became a major political scandal in Taiwan. Some American officials were also critical of the Kuomintang for orchestrating an assassination on United States soil.
