Mạch Ngọc Trân (Chữ Hán and Chinese: 麥玉珍; pinyin: Mài Yùzhēn) (born 14 October 1973) is a Vietnamese-born Taiwanese politician.

Mạch's family grew coffee beans, fruits and produce in Vietnam.[1] Mạch was born in Biên Hòa province.[2] She moved to Changhua County and acquired Taiwanese citizenship in 1994, after marrying a Taiwanese national,[3][4] and later divorced her Taiwanese husband, citing domestic violence.[1][4] Mạch then attended a master's program at Providence University and worked in Taichung.[4][5] She subsequently worked as a Vietnamese-language translator for the police and other governmental organizations.[1] In 2022, Mạch was appointed the founding chair of the Happy People Party, and, at the time, also led the Taiwan Immigrant Association.[6] In 2023, Mạch accepted a legislative nomination from the Taiwan People's Party, for which she was expelled from the Democratic Progressive Party.[7] She won the 2024 election to the 11th Legislative Yuan on the Taiwan People's Party proportional representation party list.[5][8]
