The Solomon Islands ambassadors to Taiwan were the official representatives of Solomon Islands government in the period from 1983 to 2019 when Solomon Islands recognised Taiwan. On 15 September 2019, the parliament of Solomon Islands voted to change diplomatic recognition from the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the People's Republic of China. Consequently, Joseph Waleanisia was the last ambassador to Taiwan.
