Datong District (Chinese language|Chinese: 大同區, Wade Giles: Ta-t'ung, Tongyong Pinyin: Datong) is a district of Taipei City famous for the Dihua (Tihua) Street Market during the Chinese New Year holidays. The market sells dried fruits, nuts, dried meats, dried seafood, snacks, and health drinks. Other attractions in Datong include the Taipei Confucius Temple and the Bao-an Temple.

Dadaocheng is in the southwestern part of the district.
The district is named after the Confucian notion of utopia.
