Wufong (霧峰) is a rural township in southeastern Taichung County, Taiwan Province of the Republic of China. It was the location of Taiwan Provincial Council before 1999.

Wufong is a mainly agricultural town. It was heavily damaged during the 921 Earthquake, which caused around 100 deaths in the town. The 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan, which commemorates the giant quake, is built at what was formerly Guangfu High School, which was destroyed when part of the school was uplifted by the Chelungpu Fault during the quake.

The two major geographical features of this town are the Wuxi (Wu stream), which forms the town's southern border, and Xiangbi Shan (Elephant Trunk Mountain), which lies in the eastern part of the township.
