The Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty (1628–1683) was a military and political force that, following Zheng Chenggong's capture of southwestern Taiwan in 1662, became known as Dongdu, Dongning, and Haishang. Led by the Zheng family and owing allegiance to the Southern Ming Dynasty, its jurisdiction encompassed the southeastern coast of China and the southwestern region of Taiwan.
