Four Wants and One Without or Four Yeses and One No (Chinese: 四要一沒有) is a policy proposed by the then-president of Taiwan, Chen Shui-bian, in a speech at a function of the Formosan Association for Public Affairs on 4 March 2007. The substance thereof is that:

• Taiwan wants independence;
• Taiwan wants the rectification of its name;
• Taiwan wants a new constitution;
• Taiwan wants development; and
• Taiwanese politics is without the question of left or right, but only the question of unification or independence.
