Wuchiu (Chinese: 烏坵鄉; pinyin: Wūqiū; Wade-Giles: Wu-ch'iu; Tongyong Pinyin: Wuciou) is a group of islands comprised of two major islands, namely Greater Chiu Islet and Smaller Chiu Islet, in the Taiwan Strait. Administratively the Wuchiu Township is part of Kinmen County of the Fukien Province of the Republic of China. Its name means "black mound".

The People's Republic of China claims Wuqiu as part of the Putian prefecture of its Fujian Province.

It was part of the Putien County before the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan following the Chinese Civil War between Kuomingtang and the Communist.
