Tei Taiso, or Chéng Tàizuò, was a [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]] [[scholar-aristocracy of Ryukyu|scholar-aristocrat]] who traveled to China at least twice as a member of official embassies. He is perhaps best known as the father of reformer [[Tei Junsoku]].

Tei Teiso traveled to China in [[1663]] as a member of a group escorting the first [[Qing Dynasty]] [[Chinese investiture envoys|investiture mission]] home to China. He then stayed there for two years.

Teiso returned to China in the early 1670s as a member of a regular [[tribute]] mission, but died in [[Suzhou]] in [[1675]].
