The Jing-Mei White Terror Memorial Park () is a museum in Xindian District, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
History The building used to serve as a military school from 1957 to 1967. It later housed military courts and a detention center called the Jingmei Military Detention Center () for political dissidents during the White Terror period. Former prisoners in the detention center include Annette Lu, Chen Chu and Shih Ming-teh. In 1991, the center was closed.
In 2007, the center was turned into a human rights memorial and museum featuring Taiwan's democracy movement at the suggestion of Lu, who was then serving as Vice President. In early April 2009, the Council for Cultural Affairs changed the name of the site to Jing-Mei Human Rights Memorial and Cultural Park.
In 2018, the ownership has moved to the National Human Rights Museum established in the same year, who changed the name of the site to its current name Jing-Mei White Terror Memorial Park.
Transportation The museum is accessible within walking distance north west from Dapinglin Station of Taipei Metro.
