Gordon Chan Huo-shen (Chinese: 詹火生; born 10 February 1949) is a Taiwanese sociologist and politician.

Chan studied sociology at the National Taiwan University College of Law, then subsequently earned a master's degree from the University of Oxford in 1974.[1] After completing his doctorate at the University of Wales Aberystwyth,[2] Chan accepted a professorship in sociology within National Taiwan University's Department of Social Welfare.[3][4] He served for some time as chair of the Department and Graduate Institute of Sociology at NTU.[5] While serving as vice chair of the Council of Labor Affairs, Chan retained his NTU professorship.[6] In 1998, Chan was elevated to CLA chair.[7] During his tenure, agreements were reached with Vietnam and the Philippines on employment for laborers from those countries in Taiwan.[8][9]

Soon after stepping down from the CLA, Chan began working as the convener for social security for the National Policy Foundation.[10] He was also a consultant, and later chair, of the Cross-strait Common Market Foundation.[11][12] Chan held the chairmanship of the Welfare and Environmental Council as well.[13] He returned to government service as a presidential adviser on national policy during Ma Ying-jeou's administration.[14][15]
