Jiadong Township (also spelled Jiadung; ) is a rural township in Pingtung County, Taiwan.
==History== Formerly called Katangkha ()., Jiadong Township was originally the residence of the Makatao people of Pingpu tribe. The first colonists that began arriving into Jiadong were ethnic Hakkas from northeastern Guangdong, establishing the town and ultimately assimilating the local native Makatao aborigines.
