The Taoyuanese Free Corps (桃園自由團) was a Taoyuanese army corps of the National Federal Army, and the second independent army corps raised for the Taoyuanese Provisional Government during the Second Europan War. Nicknamed by many as "The Best Army Under Heaven", it caused the most number of casualties inflicted on the Imperial Quenminese Army.

Led by Taoyuanese General Song Li-jen, the Taoyuanese Free Corps became the most distinguished Taoyuanese army corps formed in the military history of the National Federal Army. Taoyuanese Marshal Soong Feng-jeou recognised the formation having the most gifted commander and the most gifted composition of men and training. The TFC consisted of 5 Divisions:

Following EWII, the TFC was one of the formations that fought in the Taoyuanese Civil War, and later during the War of Lorican Aggression. It was disbanded in 1976. The legacy left by the Taoyuanese Free Corps is honoured by the NFA. Of all historical army formations that Taoyuan had, the TFC had the most number of memorials around the world. The Taoyuanese Free Corps' legacy would live on through the 5 divisions that it once consisted of. In 2006, the 5 divisions were amalgamated and are now a part of the modern Taoyuanese National Expeditionary Corps as Taoyuan's international fighting force.
