Local elections were held in Taiwan on 14 November 1981, electing 19 magistrates and mayors in the country, 77 members of the Taiwan Provincial Council, and members of the Taipei and Kaohsiung City Council.

The local poll is the first since the crackdown on the Tangwai movement. The result was largely the same with the last, with the ruling party maintaining control over 19 administrative divisions, and the opposition kept Yilan, Changhua, Pingtung, and Tainan City.
