Yuanchang Township is a rural township in Yunlin County, Taiwan.

==Name== The local Fu clan maintains the name Yuanchang comes from Fu Yuan-chang (傅元掌), their ancestor who settled in the area in 1741. The Yunlin government agrees such a person did exist, but whether the specific man is the progenitor of the township's name is unclear.
