Taï Phong was a French progressive rock band active in the 1970s, notable for featuring the future acclaimed singer-songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman. The band's core members included guitarist Khanh Mai, bassist, keyboardist, and guitarist Tai Sihn, keyboardist Jean Alain Gardet, and drummer Stephan Caussarieu. They released three studio albums during the 1970s and later reformed with a different lineup to release another album in 2000.

Founded by Vietnamese brothers Kahn and Taï Ho Tong, Taï Phong presented a unique profile within the French music scene. Their sound has been compared to bands like Camel and Novalis, with some describing them as "France's answer to Barclay James Harvest." The initial formation of the band occurred in 1972. This early iteration included an American and a German member. However, contract disputes arose during their recording process. The brothers' refusal to accept the offered terms led to the loss of their record deal and the departure of the other two members. Keyboardist Jean Alain Gardet and Jean-Jacques Goldman soon joined the band.
