Zhubei (Wade-Giles: Chupei; HakkaPFS: Chuk-pet; HokkienPOJ: Tek-pak) is a city in Hsinchu County, Taiwan. It is one of the country's fastest-growing settlements, with a population gain of 51,000 between 2010 and 2019, the highest of any township/city or district. The city has attracted migration both because of its proximity to Hsinchu City and the Hsinchu Science Park, and because the Hsinchu County government has focused most of its infrastructure here.

It is governed as a county-administered city, and is the county seat of Hsinchu County. Taiwan High Speed Rail's Hsinchu HSR station is located here.
