Ximending (traditional Chinese: 西門町; Hanyu Pinyin: Xīméndīng; Wade-Giles: Hsi-men-ting; Taiwanese POJ: Se-mn̂g-teng; Romaji: Semoncho) is a neighborhood in the Wanhua District of Taipei. The historical spelling of this area was Hsimenting, which is based on the Wade-Giles romanization of Mandarin Chinese. The use of the character 町 (chō) is unusual in a Chinese context; It is part of a ward in the Japanese municipality system.

Ximending in Taiwan usually refers to Ximending in Wanhua District, Taipei City. This area is in the northeastern part of Wanhua District in Taipei City and it is also the most important consumer district in the Western District of Taipei. The well-known Ximending Pedestrian Area was the first pedestrian area built in Taipei.

Ximending generally refers to the area surrounded by Zhonghua Rd., Kangding Rd., Hankou St., and Chengdu Rd. Since many bus lines gather in Zhonghua Rd., Ximending is also an important area for bus transfers. The MRT Ximen Station for the Blue Line and Green Line is also set up here.
